New timing chain = Increased Oil Consumption?

He means that your camshaft is one link off being timed properly.
I think that's unlikely to impact oil consumption..
Is oil consumption actually up since you fixed it - or did you just assume that the leak was were your oil was going before?
It's hard to measure blow-by at idle... i wouldn't be too concerned about that. If you've got poor compression, that I'd be concerned about...

Yah i find it unlikely its off by 1 sproket just cuz the truck sounds to good and the timing seems fine.
On a compression check i had 171 on all cylinders...So blow by at idle isnt accurate?? i just popped the oil cap and oil was spurting out along with a heck of a lot of air...
