oil consumption due to.....
Greetings from an oil burner. I was watching some vids from Hrspwr Freaks where a 1k HP S54 was built. The engine builder commented that BMW engines he has seen show oil consumption becauuse BMW doesn't use a Torque Plate when honing the cylinders.
Just wanted to throw this out. |

The engine builder is an idiot.
No more needs to be said.

High performance engines burn oil for a variety of reasons, but the main ones are loose tolerances in the engine and low tension rings.
No torque plate infers that the cylinders are out of round and that BMW cheaped out on their most important engines. Like I said above. The engine builder is an idiot.
