I now have 1500 miles after a rebuild (1000 miles on the oil change after the break-in period). Today I checked and the oil level was down to the minimum line, so I had to add about 1.4 pints (.7 litres). Is this normal?

That's not too bad, the rings have to seat. I believe adding 1 liter per oil change (3000 miles) is normal. some engines use less, but it shouldn't use more.
BTW, how do I break in an engine? I drive it like I stole it. |
