As I don't drive it that much, I haven't driven it enough to measure the oil consumption per mile yet. But if worse comes to worse, I suppose I could just add a quote or 2 as needed until I get the time and energy to change the gasket.

As for the timing chain, that was changed to a dual in the 80's, and I changed the chain and guides when I did the heads 7 years ago. So, they should still be fine. But thanks for asking.
