: any thought to a blown head gasket?
That's a thought - and wouldn't be too expensive to fix either.
I'm not real familiar with the layout of the Magnum heads though -
is it possible to blow the gasket anywhere which would cause oil
to go into a cylinder without also filling it with coolant? The
one time I saw a blown head gasket on a Magnum, it was just lots
of white smoke.
I suppose what you could do Jason is to pull out your spark
plugs one at a time, with that much oil consuption I'd guess
there would be some visible signs on the plugs. That might
narrow down the problem to a single cylinder or tell you if
the oil is going through all of them...
