My car used little to no oil when it was stock. Maybe 1/2 quart every 3k miles. Now after my H/C/I swap it eats oil like crazy. I have a catch can which catches a bunch of oil. The car smokes@ WOT only. Pisses me off.

I've thought about putting a filter on the oil cap but have read mixed reviews about it.

Why? ... higher compression (giving more ring blow-by) due to different heads? Or maybe just driving it harder after it was modified? Different valve guide seals that might not be working as well?

Just seems strange that a H/C/I swap would increase oil consumption that much.

I did up the compression to about 11.5:1. I did put different heads on. A local machine shop checked them out and put new seals on them for me.

I felt lucky that my car used very little oil stock and was afraid if I messed with it it would start using oil which it did. I have pulled a few plugs out and they look OK, I haven't pulled all of them out yet.

It smokes some @WOT but smokes really bad when I let off the gas and the RPMS start to drop. You can smell burnt oil like it has a leak but I can't find one anywhere. The car is running rich from the tune. I hope it hasn't washed the rings out.
