We now have about 650 moiled on the 250. We just drove to the Tibuorn show on Saturday. 160 miles round trip. The motor runs smooth but I feel that there is excess oil consumption. A good 1/2 quart in that 160 miles. I have 1 small oil leak at the front timing chain cover. (the size of a quarter). The plugs are a little black, running a little rich.
I checked the compression on each cylinder and came up with these numbers.
1- 137
2- 142
3- 140
4- 144
5- 145
6- 145
The motor is a 1972 model TR6. The compression was raised to 9.5 to 1, I don't know if these numbers are low, high or what. I can't find anything on the compression lbs. How long will it take for the oil rings to seat? Or am I just being a little pearinoid?
