Re: rebuilt engine and burning oil

#1

Assuming they put new rings in, I suppose there might be some oil
consumption until the rings seat fully, but 2 quarts seems a tad high. How
many miles on it now since the rebuild?

If that rate of oil consumption keeps up, I'd certainly complain..

The mechanic who recently rebuilt the engine in my 95 SC2 said that it
might
burn a little oil at first. I've been checking it weekly and this morning
I
noticed it had indeed burned a "little" oil. It was around 2 quarts low!!
I added some oil and I guess there wasn't any damage but is this really
normal? Is he being honest or am I being taken for a ride.

Thanks,
