That's really healthy! Sounds like either you have leaking valve guide seals or control rings, but either way it's no big deal. I eat about 1 quart of oil per 750 miles on mine; pretty excessive! We did a cylinder leak down test and it showed I have leaking valve guide seals on every cylinder lmao. So I have a 4Piston head on the way. Just gonna swap it onto my stock block with a set of Todo D cams and call it a day until the bottom end goes.
