I always try to create these threads in generalities. I just need to provide more details from the start. This is a fun toy. 1965 Mustang with a 1969 351W that was rebuilt in 2005 with mild cam, ported and polished heads, Eddy intake, etc. Supposed to be around 400hp at the crank.
I think I'm going to stick with the original plan. Pull the distributor and look at the gear. Inspect the valve train and related.

I can check engine compression again but this summer (before I started noticing major oil consumption) all cylinders were 120+ psi cold.

It's hard for me to say it's bearing when I have no knock or oil pressure issues. I'm really leaning towards the oil consumption being valve guide/seal related since the only smoke I ever notice is on cold start.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!!
