hey yo's, i got a new engine put in aboot 4 weeks ago, and its been burning oil ever since.........what would cause it to do so???


also, it seems to hold back around 2-4k rpm, then frees up after that. thinkin its probably the wires/plugs.......any suggestions?

Do a compression and leakdown test on all cylinders.

The hold back around 2-4 grand is probably the EGR cleaning calling you.

Do you see any smoke coming out from muffler? Your engine might have bad piston rings. I would do the compression test too. Where did you get your engine from?
