BH, excellent recap of the V8 oiling issues. Notice the wording of the SC regarding the piston rings and that it was a fairly late SC????
The ring SC indicates without explanantion that "rings were installed upside down". I contend after having studied the SC's and STB's that any oil consumpion issues with the V8 were strictly ring related and that all of the other band-aid fixes prior to the ring SC were strictly to placate the dealer and customer and of no consequence to reduce oil consumption by any even insignificant amount.
