I pulled the exh manifold today and OIL is definately coming from the #5 cyl out the exhaust. That rules out fuel and cooler problems. I'm pulling the motor.
It has to be a broken ring--RIGHT???????
I'm getting really good at working on this motor. This will be the 5th or 6th time the motor has been pulled, and motor only has a total of 30 hrs on it. Man am I lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!

luck has nothing to do with it. if this is your 5th time into this motor then you need a fresh set of eyes and hands to work on it. who ever is doing the work is missing something very basic or lacks the necessary skill set to measure it and assemble it correctly. you aren't talking about big ultimate hp numbers here... you are talking about fundemental basic high school auto shop short block structure. no magic at all. get someone else to put it together this time...

There's more troubleshooting to be done without a teardown. I would pull the intake and see if in that hole it is sucking oil from the lifter valley. Or a leaking intake. There is a good chance (50-50) you will still come up with no joy but its worth a look. After all its got to be getting a little embarrassing pulling that engine all the time...
