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?

Mark is right. Drive it like you stole it, but do run it a constant speeds. Hammer it from time to time. Rings probably have not set up yet.
