EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION
Possible Cause Operation
Wrong valve adjustment Adjust the valve clearance properly
Overheated valves Remove the head and the valves, grind or replace the valves
Misshapen/worn valve seats Replace the head unit
Worn cylinder, Worn or broken piston rings Replace the piston cylinder assembly or piston rings
Worn or broken piston rings or piston rings that have not been
fitted properly
Replace the piston cylinder unit or just the piston rings
