72 Dart 318 has used oil since it was rebuilt. Get a little smoke at start-up and when accelerating hard. Probably a quart or more every 1k miles, never really measured but, I have to put oil in it a lot. Recently I've been smelling antifreeze. No leaks to be found yet and no oil/water mixing. This has prompted me that I need to get plan together to address these issues. I've had issues with the new Eddy 2176 intake and I'm going to take a second look at it. The rebuild consisted of: New intake valve guides, .030 pistons/rings, cam, oil pump, gear set, rockers, bearings, crank turned, valves reground. So you can see just about everything was replaced.
I'm looking for possible issues and some sort of test plan to get to the bottom of this. I'm probably starting with compression check then a leak down test. Thanks Craig
