Oil additives and Hydraulic lifters
OK, my KA24E burns oil... I believe it mostly comes into the combustion chamber from the valves. I don't care too much about it since I am swapping to another E sometime late this year...
Anyway, I have contemplated using products like Lucas Stop Leak to stop the burning, I have heard friends say that it has worked well in their cars. My concern is that if I use these thick fluids, it will block oil passages to the head and perhaps cause trouble with the hydraulic lifters on the KA-E.
My E already has a nasty valve tick after runs where I have sustained high steady state cornering loads, so there are already problems in getting oil up there.
Does anyone have experience with additives like these on a KA24E engine?
