Re: 72 MGB - Engine Rebuild?

My 72 b had the same oil consumption problem.  My odometer said 79,000
but I can't confirm its accuracy.  After the rebuild, the rebuilder said
that the only thing that he found that would contribute to such high oil
consumption was the rings.  They weren't excessively worn but he said
they had absolutely no tension when compressed and I would have gotten
excessive blow by.
By the way, I know of an overdrive transmission in MA. from a 1972 B
with about 70, 000 miles.
