Default Using Oil

Symptoms:

Using oil
Mileage has gradually dropped
Choppy Idle
and a black fuel filter.


Would bad injector O-rings cause some, if not all these symptoms. Also it has used about a gal. over 1000 + some change miles. Not rediculous but makes me some what nervous!

Nice choice.

Although the injector o-rings are only $60 for the kit...

Stage 1.5's are more fun and i figure their a lil worn and i have them out anyway.

and also their is no sign of an oil/coolant mixture.

What do you all think of the rosewood 1.5 injector rebuild?
