Second that. It was a known problem after those engines got some miles on them. From what I've read a lot of it traced back to valve guides.

What's your oil consumption? When my blue 64 was running, it blew oil vapor all over the place but used only a quart every 1000 miles or so- definitely not enough to make me tear into it.

I think a lot of it is because of that weird PCV valve the 63-5 cars used. Cars I've seen with California semi-closed PCV generally don't fog as badly.
