Fred, one of the GMC Cascaders just rebuilt his 455 and it was using oil
like crazy. He was using a Rockwell aluminum intake manifold with throttle
body FI. What he found was his intake manifold didn't have a good seal to
the valley, and it was injesting oil from that source. He removed the intake
& resealed it & his oil burning stopped. Engine ran very well and the plugs
looked good. Had us scratching our heads for a while before he found it.
