Re: Oil Consumption

Let's remember there were two styles of baffles, those meant for field service and those that were factory installed. Factory units installed under the valve springs, and the field service units installed on the rocker arm stanchions. Details are in a Service Counselor.

Were they really necessary? My 56 Carib is a very late car, assembled early June 1956, and with a properly numbered early engine #, C-1137 it does not have the baffles and also uses no oil between changes. The SC does not, as most TSBs do, indicate the Utica plant engine numbers at which the change took place but is merely identified as "1955 and early 1956".
