Burning Oil - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I changed my car's oil to 7000 miles ago (I know I went over) but that shouldn't have burnt my oil completely, should it?  Last time I changed it, it was OK.  The last mod I did was install the pulley.  There are no oil leaks so I'm guessing the car is burning it.  Someone please help me out.

Hmm...could be on old worn piston ring. Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it but you might want to check with your engine timing and make sure it's adjusted propoerly after the pulley install or hasn't gone off already.

This is a dumb question but how do I check my timing & how do you adjust it?  Can I do it myself or should I take it to mechanic?
