Did you put it in the oil, run it, then park it or pour some in the spark plug holes and let it sit? I really need to start doing something about mine before it gets worse. Now that I have the Volvo, the Rodeo sits most of the time anyway.


The Amigo won't be seeing hard 4 wheeling anyway so I'll take the risk. The secondary reason for me picking this Amigo as a DD is that if I ever have an accident, it'll be a 5 speed donor to the VX. The 3.2L may have been used for the same purpose till I noticed the oil consumption.
The 98+ DOHC 3.2 can be rebuilt as a 3.5 with the upgraded pistons that eliminate the oil burning issue (more holes in them). Its the same block and heads. Need the crank, rods, pistons, rings, and oil gallery of a 3.5.
