Your rings are likely worn. Try restore as a last ditch effort. I've had very good luck with it in the past. Compression numbers were up on my old v8 about 20 PSI.

 

Ya I'm definitely going to try it. Any brand in particular?

 

It's called restore its in a metal can. Three sizes get the v8. http://www.restoreusa.com/

 

Awesome thanks I'm gonna give it a shot. What about some fuel treatment?

 

You could try it... That stuff doesn't do that much unless you take your injectors out and soak em in it... Might help a little with the mileage. There is a chance your injectors are bad. Basically to diagnose this you need a compression check and possibly a leak down test.

 

I'm just gonna do a full blown diagnostic Friday before I leave for Purdue to see my girl. It's been 3 weeks. I gotta see her already!!

 

My 89 xj used to destroy the air filter too it turned out to be the PCV tube going to the back of the valve cover was all gunked up and clogged. i converted it over to a PCV valve and replaced that skinny tubing to a 3/8" fuel line. now the crankcase properly ventlates i have no more oil going on to my air filter element

 

I was actually considering doing that I might split the tube by the valve cover and inserting a pcv valve in it as a back up

 

Cars where made....long ago...with a "road draft tube". Metal tube going straight down, bottom cut at a 45* angle, so it would suck some at speed, to vent that stuff instead of fouling your air cleaner.

 

That does make sense. And side note when I read that I imagined an old grandpa, sitting in his rocking chair on his front porch, telling his grand kids that lol idk y lol

 

Hahaha its true though. Jeez don that was in what the 40s?

 

Lol ya when all u needed to fix an engine was one monkey wrench and a Philips screwdriver. And some tape. Now u need a MBA just to change the oil! Lol

 

Oh and I'm gonna replace my TPS I think.

 

Road Draft Tube - Up till 1965.

 

Hey do u think I can get away with doing that on my Jeep?
