hi folks i done my headgasket about 2 months ago and everything been fine aside from blowing a 5 month old sportex which im away to replace.
now over the past few days shes started using oil at a hoor oh a rate form max to near min on the dipstick in about 50 miles give or take. shes not burning it out the exhaust because the fumes are fine only the usual condensation on a cold morning or night, water levels staying spot on at the moment so i dont think its the head gasket again any sugestions ? oh theres a milky build up on the breather filter aswell but i gather with the fumes and oil mix thats normal ?
current engine mods are :
lexmaul 421 heatwrapped manifold
decat
race pipe
(blown) sportex backbox
carbon fiber ram air induction kit
vx performance inlet
oil breather filter
egr blanking plate
if any of that helps
many thanks richard

If its not coming out the exhaust and its using that much oil it must be a leak somewhere, and should be easy to spot if its using up a lot of oil

If it wont turn over its seized. So probable oil pressure problem. If wont fire it could be crank trigger issues. Whip belt cover off and see belt/pullies are all lined up, cam sensor isnt lose/pullies damaged etc. You say no oil when start the car but it could be burning it under load pretty quickly depending on the fault.
