Hello everybody.
I have my S212 350 CGI with 199k miles and it's burning a lot of oil. Somewhere in the order of 1 litre in less than 1000 miles. At least that was the case before renewing the PCV valve. It still burns a lot.
I have been trying to figure out if the rings or valve seals or gone.
Symptoms are:
What do people think?
I'm trying to figure out if I can change the stem seals with engine in situ and keeping head. I know the rope method etc, just trying to figure out if I can compress the springs as they are.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Symptoms are:
- Abnormal oil consumption.
- After sitting over night, puff of smoke after starting up in the morning.
- If I idle or do slow, stop/start driving for a while then pound then floor it in first gear at the bottom of a hill, I get a lot of smoke. One day I filled the entire road! During testing yesterday morning, I even got a misfire code. (Cleared and back to normal).
