Question about oil consumption?
I have a severe case of oil consumption going on. I had a 383 LS1 built and it has 4800 miles on it since the build. The car has used 1 qt of oil per 300 to 350 miles that I have put on the car. The shop that built it said it was the valve seals so I replaced them then they said it was my LS6 PCV set up on my car so I deleted it and used two filters on the valve covers. Low and behold it has used a little over 1 qt of oil in 384 miles. Any suggestions I hate going back to them and complaining but suggestions would be great on what you think the problem is.

i dunno....my 408 uses no oil and I just found out that you arent supposed to let a motor idle long before the rings are seated. I do and always have let it idle while filling radiator...looking for leaks etc......at least 30 minutes which i read is not good....never any ring seal issues for me though
