that is massive oil consumption regardless of the 4 years since the rebuild . Did any of the spark plugs foul during the long run ?? I suggest you inspect all the plugs to see their condition and oil content . Check if they are all the same . A compression test is also worthwhile but not an indication of oil consumption I'm my experience even one pint in 200 miles is more than excessive during a run in period. It will not be the valves !! I agree you should talk with the rebuilder as the engine will most likely need a total strip down . Geoff D |
