Valve Job?

Question

1992 Ford Crown Vic, 102K, burns oil, no blue smoke, no leaks. My first thought was a valve job. Any other possibilities? Suggestions? What about an approxitmate cost for the valve job? Thanks.

Answer 1

before that replace the breather and the pcv valve you wouldent nead a valve job but valve seals and you would know if ther bad by if it blows smoke when you first start it, how much are you burning a quart is almost normal on most cars inbetween oilchanges

Answer 2

Hows your oil pressure
Does the engine rattle when first started after sitting awhile

It's been known that if your bearings are wore it can also make your engine use oil,crank and cam bearings thats why i wanted to know how the oil pressure is..

For the price of a valve job it could cost anywhere from 300.00 all the way to 600.00 depending on if your valve need replacing or not..

At 102k it would be better to go through the whole motor. Do a compression balance test to get an idea of cyl wear. It will save you money if you intend on keeping the car rather than spending the money to go through the heads and then have to rebuild the motor in another 10k.
