Ken,
Pull the plugs and check them. That kind of oil consumption has to be
leaving some residue if there's no leaks. If they're coated with heavy
deposits of burnt oil, it may just be that the rings haven't come in
yet. (Seated.) There's a few things you can do if this is the case.
We've been here before on this one.
Out of curiosity, what kind of rings are installed?
