Re: beaterX project thread

Joe nailed the reason, compressed valve seats probably. That shouldn't cause any issues with oil consumption though. It could allow some combustion pressure to leak back in to the intake or exhaust, but since your power isn't down it does not sound like that is happening.

For the oil it could be valve seals or rings. After your incident I would think rings/cylinder wall would be the most likely but it could be many different things.
