Hey everyone,

I'm buying a SHO in October for a really good price. Although the engine burns a bit of oil. I was wondering if someone would be down to help me fix the SHO? Could be a cool project. Let me know, thanks a million.

i'm down for any type of meet. You're in westland, ****, thats like, 5-10 minutes from my bed.

My mechanical skills: not that great, but I'm not completely useless when it comes to working on these cars.

Sure will.

This is what's going on with the SHO. I plan on using her during the winter, and a daily driver. It burns oil, and has a tad drivability issue. Smokes out the tail pipe, but then again Im getting it for $500. So not bad at all.... I was thinking about swapping out the motor. Or do you think I should wait, and build this one up?

It smokes out the tail pipe at ALL times. At startup and while driving. Blue smoke.

I will keep all posted,



Thanks,





Sal

Most likely valve seals. Frst thing to try is Castrol High Mileage10W-30.Valvoline is the 2nd choise, and forgot the rest. It cut my oil usage from a qt every 800 miles to a qt every 1,600 miles on my '94 MTX.

It also did close to the same on my '95 MTX that had leaky crank seals.
