Ah not All were wore out . I put a 168 and change on my 68 383 Road runner and i can say she got run hard and was NOT and oil burner 71 Duster 340 another one that got the bag run off it and a 178k and change and still would put the fear of god into a sane person . , Yes working in dealerships we saw OIL burners BUT not due to being wore out , valve guides oil being sucked past intake gskt. , but when you opened them up you found vary little ridge and still saw cross hatch in the walls . Take a 385 block ford engine when ya treat one of them puppys well they can run a couple hundred thousand miles as my 88 F 350 did with 287k on it , That one got the wheels run off it with about 50% of the time pulling a 28 foot gooseneck that 90% o the time was overloaded. . Yea in the mid to late sixtys F E block fords had and issue with drinking oil , many were pulled down and reringed but that was NOT the issue here it was intake gskt. sucking oil as there was always oil running past it and seeping in . Then there was and unannounced recall when ya got in and F E not to pull the engine down and rering but to replace intake gskt. Just a couple drops of oil per mile turns into a Qt every 400-600 miles as so we were told . Factory engine tolerance varied . piston rings were just plain old cast iron and compression ratio's were MUCH higher qand engines ran at higher RPM driving down the road . Say you had a car with 14 inch tires with a 28-9 inch rolling height and a 3.23-25 gear in say third in a slush box or forth in a gear box at 45 Mph you were turning 2000 RPM at 70 MPH you were now turning around 32-3400 RPM and getting with the program up in the triple digits your running 55-56000 rpm , Now today on the War Dept's new jeep Cherokee at 75 MPH it is turning just around 1850 and sill had a gear or two to go UP but let it drop five it drops one and now is running at 2000. as this is where it like to be between 1850 and 2000. But back in the OLD days you would be between 35 and 45 MPH . A OLD gas tractor from back in the OLD days would eat around 2 Qt's of oil a day working hard. The OLD Detroit's in semis would between leaking and burn a Gallon a day . Between oil changes and back then we changed oil about every two weeks you could plan on one barrel a month . darn good thing it was Cheap at under a buck a gallon and sometimes as low as 45 cents a gallon when ya bought a pallet of four drums and you picked it up . Nobody really cared . Just pull the dip stick and OH it NEEDS and you dumped . with the semi and the old 318 when you fueled at night while the tank was filling you just automatically went and got a gallon and DUMPED .a half day on Saturday took a half gallon . They burnt oil and leaked oil even after a rebuild , but it might take a month to start leaking after and out of Chassis . But the inframes ya may get the heads and valve covers not to leak for a month or two but they still drank oil. It did not matter who did the rebuild if it was your vary first or ya did three a week .
