It has been using a little oil for a while, but just this year it got to where we were constantly adding it about once a week. I can understand a quart or two in between a change, but every week?? Is the 5.0 not a very long lifed engine compared to some of the other fords like the 4.9 I6 and the newer engines? We bought it with about 60 or 70k highway miles. I bought a can of seafoam tonight. The directions say and ounce per quart of oil, so I will add half of it to the crank case and then the rest to one of the tanks. Also, the guy who drives this truck is taking vacation next week, should I pull the plugs out and squirt a good amount of ATF in each cylinder so it can sit for about 5 days like that? Also, how much ATF would you put in each cylinder? If we are able to aford it, we are hoping to trade in the truck this summer for a newer used ford f150 4x4 (4x2 is not too good on the farm for a maintenance truck). Thanks for all the help so far. Oh, also, I wasn't able to get a compression checker, they were a little pricy for one use. I will try this, I am not concerned competely with knowing exactly how worn out the engine is, I just want to cut down on the oil consumption. Hurst

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
