Burning excessive amounts of oil Hey guys, this truck is really testing my patience. I installed a reman jasper 5.3 motor a few months back but just recently started driving it as a daily and I changed the oil almost 2 weeks ago and it has already burned through about 3-4 quarts! I've driven it a total of maybe 300-400 miles since I changed the oil. In case this helps I have 799 heads, shorty headers plus a .525 lifted cam installed. Would the head gaskets improperly sealing or being defective have anything to do with this much oil being burned?
