Turbo, Did you follow the Savvy instructions for the ring flush? I have a used (rebuilt) engine, IO-360 Angle Valve with chrome cylinders and using about a quart every 3 hours. I've checked compressions, all well within limits but it sat a long time, pickled.the best thing I did for my high time engine when the oil consumption starting going up was a ring flush. viola, things are better. it is now part of my annual maintenance. it can be messy.
I did test the 2 quart level after an oil change, no I didn't fly it, but did a run up at the hangar and all engine indications were as normal. whew.
I have been running oil level around 5 quarts for years now.

Chuck, I'll give it some more time. I appreciate the info!Ryan,
I have an angle valve 360 just rebuilt with 30 hrs on it and chrome cylinders. I'm at about a quart every 1-1/2 hrs. No leaks, great compression, and I don't see much on the belly. But it's got to be blow by.
A few older gentlemen on the field have told me to hang in there and wait it out. Could take 80-100 hrs and to run it hard.
Ask yourself or your sources, will moisture evaporate at minimum temp of 180?
