By what magic do you think your engine gets rid of acid?

Re: Jeep grand 93 5.2L using up alot of oil, no leaking?
"Moisture is the worst culprit because it forms acids and sludge." I have
been saying this for years, since 1978 in fact, when Bud at Clarke Motors in
Winchester, VA told me that "short trips" was the cause of the sludge
buildup I was seeing in a Chevy V8 used in a farm truck. That truck had
enough sludge built up, to pop one of the rockers off of its push rod.
Modern engines, running at the proper operating temperature and with a
properly functioning PCV or CCV system, boil off crankcase moisture and
therefore reduce acid and sludge, relative to older designs. Those short
trips are a "gotcha" though, because it never gets hot enough to boil the
water off.

Re: Jeep grand 93 5.2L using up alot of oil, no leaking?
does it ping under slight load??
then i would have it tested for a intake plenuim pan gasket leak
they can be blown out and u suc oil in from the lifter valley resulting in a oil
consumption issue and sometimes a rough idle and pinging no matter what gas is
used i used to do 2 to 3 a week for this issue and the first thing brought up
was a quart low wth no leaks

Re: Jeep grand 93 5.2L using up alot of oil, no leaking?
That's good information. I too have a '93 JGC V-8 that burns oil
without leaks and pings easily. I couldn't find a picture of the
plenum pan in the service manual, but it seems to be part of the
intake manifold which has to be removed to get to the plenum pan.
