Been there. Done that. '83 first convertible Mustang since '73 and first models with the 3.8 V-6. 9 months old and it's using a quart of oil per week :eek:. "Didn't you get the notice from MoFoCo? We need to replace the valve stem seals." I didn't argue with them and let them have it for 2 days. For cryin' out loud, that 3.8 was just a chopped off Windsor motor and they had been using 221-351Ws since what? '62? 2 less cylinders, let's go cheap on the 20 year old successful valve seals :BangHead:. The purchase did have one plus. 2 years later the salesman calls me up "I think we might have something here you want to test drive". '85 Mustang SVO :steering:made their 5.0 GTs feel like my V-6 . No, I did not trade the wife's prized rag top off for the SVO, she had no experience in the manual transmission department :lol:
