Consumer Description

Every 2 days I'm adding a cord of oil to my engine. It started off. I would have to add a quart or two in between my oil changes and this thing is running unbelievably bad. Everything's failing on it now. It's leaking oil out of somewhere from the block. The manifolds leaking has been since day one and a thing runs so hot. It's unreal, it doesn't accelerate and then it tries to accelerate by itself. It bucks it decelerates and jumps gears
