Re: oil burning issues

I had the same problem after I rebuilt mine. The check valve was in but at the time I didn't know there was a problem with after market head gaskets. Anyway, instead of pulling the head I pulled the dipstick out and secured it under the hood. Then just slide a piece of 1/2" hose over the dipstick tube and point it down to keep dirt out. It works for now until I have time to pull the head. You won't loose any oil out the tube.
