My Zetec burns oil like crazy and its done 130k... I get blue smoke out the back if I floor it, so I'm pretty sure the rings need attention. This is my main reason for wanting to rebuild / replace the engine.
That said, I have heard reports that this can also be caused by problems in the bottom end... has anyone experienced issues like this, and if so, what was the cause ?
TBH I was surprised my engine has kicked the bucket at 130k, I see loads of other Zetecs at 150-200 and they still seem fine.
