That's exactly what he told me, and we were hoping for, but after about some 20 K miles, still consumes about 1 QT of oil per full tank of diesel. Do not know about the rings...Engine is strong and fast to take off too...but the smoke, do you think it could be the Vacuum Pump.. don't have a clue...I appreciate and value your opinion, THANKS.
