Hw manny miles since the build ? usually they will have some blow bye till they seal up ... can take 1K to 5K to really work the rings in ... I know our detroits (S60) usually consumes oil for around 3500 miles then just stops using iol and lives happily for quite a while ..

Its to be expected since the engine isn't totally sealed up just yet .... Should and most likely is using a tad bt more than normal oil also .... Common on a new built engine ...

some blow bye and oil consumption is to be expected .....

like I said ... Go borrow or rent a trailer and load it up and go tow up some good sized hills and it should help a bit .... Racin around town or back roads ain't gonna do it .... They need to be worked in .... Or it will take quite a while .... 10/15K if your just cruzin around ... Wouldn't surprise me a bit
