Hi, this is my first post in this forum, and I hope someone can help me. I own a 71 MGB, and this year I've been doing some upgrades to improve the appearance and performance. In doing so, I replaced the Valve cover with an Alunimum cover without a breather vent. It came with what they claim was a breather cap instead. I also removed the emission pump (bad anyway), gulp valve and all additional emission related hoses. Again, I've done a few things to this car, so I'm not sure what is causing my problem.
Heres my problem. This year I'm losing about 1 quart of oil per 200 miles! This car NEVER used that much oil in the past, and I very nervous what is causing it.
Could the breather cap be the culprit?? I've read that this can be a problem because of increased pressure in the system.
Any other advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
