When I pulled the engine, I took the vac pump off to use on another car and
it was fine. Its not raining today and although I should be out putting up
fire wood, I'm gona pull the pan and find out whats going on. When I
bought the car the oil usage was the minor problem. I started to drive it
home as the "knock" wasn't that bad but it got progressively worse so after
a few miles I parked it and picked it up with the dolly next day. The rest
of the car was in great shape, what a crime. I put another engine in it &
sold it to a buddy that has been looking for a nice 240.

Did you check and see if vacuum pump was pumping oil into intake?

Tom & Peter...thanks for the help
"Where does the other end of the pipe go? " Dont remember, I pulled
the engine last spring, put it on the stand and figured it was something to
do with being a Ca car and I would do away with it anyway. I was just
curious as to what it was. and how to plug the hole in the pan=-O
I pulled the head today (rainy day...yaaa) and will check those valve stems
tomorrow. I sure hope your right about the crank being OK Peter ;-)
So far pulling the engine apart, there are no signs of a "shoddy" engine
assembly job, all the washers in place etc..., nothing amiss as far as I
can tell so far, but tomorrow I 'll get to the bottom end. All the
gaskets, including head gasket look new. Thanks again, I'll report on the
bottom end tomorow.
