Re: engine 120-130 65

Yup....don't worry about it!

A quart every 700 miles is nothin'..

If it runs good, and doesn't smoke, drive it.

I've got about 250K on the rebuild in my 1800. It uses about the same amount of oil....mostly leaks it. Still runs fine. Probably burns a good bit too though.

All honesty, the 1800 runs a hell of a lot better than my 145 which only has 100K original miles...

Dont fix that which ain't broke!
