427 oil burning update
Last week I posted that I had burnt 1.5 qts in 300 miles. So I topped it off and put about 134 miles on it since and I was about .5 qts low this time, which is 1/3 better than last week. So I have changed the oil again since it seemed to be kinda darkish for only couple hundred miles on it. I will see if it continues to get better with the new oil in it. Just wanted to keep everyone posted on what has been going on.

Your first oil change on these are going to be dirty. The reason behind it is all the lube on these motors used prior to startup. Ive installed about 7 to 10 lsx's and they all seem to clean up around the 2nd to 3rd oil change. Oil consumption will be a factor untill the rings seat. I feel that the rings should get a good seat within 4 to 5 heat cycles. You are burning 1.5 quarts in 300 miles? To me it seems like alot but it just might need a little more time for the rings to seat.
