A ring cannot seal properly if there are scratches that let the oil bypass the rings. Also, a worn intake valve guide and/or valve stem seals that let oil trickle down the valve stem can create pretty noticeable oil consumption and plug fouling. DO NOT let anyone convince you to install something called a "spark plug anti-fouler"- - -a spacer that moves the plug away from the combustion chamber. It also lets the plug overheat and burn the electrodes away in a hurry. Jerry
