I drove 160 miles Wednesday trying to seat the rings. I used 3 1/2 quarts of oil. I would have made a Navy destroyer proud.
So, today I went looking for reasons. There was a small leak at the oil pump so, I resealed that and a little oil on the bottom of the oil filter. Neither could explain my oil consumption so off with the heads (and PCs too). Attached image(s) |

I'm not quite an engine guru, but it seems to me that something must be wrong on the intake side of things for that much oil to be ending up in the intake. Is everything hooked up right in the PCV valve department? Are you running a common pelenum? is it full of oil? I'm just sort of thinking out loud and hoping something will be helpful. It's sad to see bad things happen to a nice engine.
