Check your ring's maybe you getting blow by cause of weak rings getting old.

 

You will get a million ideas from us here,, let spec ops look it over

 

They did......Its an ongoing thing at this point. They checked everything and it seems fine....logged the car. They actually got on me about not driving the car harder more often lol.

After half a tank....no oil loss so far.
Every half tank to full tank I will take pictures and document.

 

Motor doesn't have very many miles.....while its not impossible I don't think the rings would wear that quickly....plus would the catch can have something in it?

 

Yeah evom is a blessing an a curse.......so many knowledgeable people....so many opinions.

Thanks for everyone that chimed in...I'll be updating a few days. Looking into ordering the STM kit.

 

Interstate only, I will burn a half QT in 300 miles (when I have to fill up gas)... however my Buschur 2.4L has almost 50,000 miles on it now

 

Did you figure out what it was? My motor has similar consumption

 

Have you ever tried using an additive in your oil?
I work for KleenoilUSA and put our NNL690 in mine.
You could possibly be using up your detergents and dispersants too quickly, then burning oil.
OR you have a bypass issue...

 

since its a fairly newly built engine, is it somewhat possible the rings never set in during break in?

 

Hurell, did Spec-ops do a cylinder leakdown with and without oil added to the cylinders?

So if no leaks to ground etc, no oil in the IC, that only leaves oil being burned. If the engine was built loose, it is most likely rings. If the valve seals are being pulled up by the springs ( IIRC Supertech suffers from this the most, requires specific smaller seals ) then you are burning it that way. Also if the seals themselves are oversized on the valve stems you can be pulling oil in under high vacuum. If the pcv valve system is intact, it is possible to burn some that way but that requires a lot of blowby from the valves

Engine running very cold can have fuel wash down the cylinders..Get the temps under control and use a thermostat and or block of some of the rad.

All of those issues will show some blue in the exhaust at WOT and high boost.

I feel for ya, bud.......

^^^ was just revisiting this post and after reading thru it again, was thinking the same thing on the rings--( aready went the VS route) But if your running cold and therefore running rich depending on the map, open/closed loop--you could be washing those rings down therefore not sealing/seating like they should for break-in.. Milburn here just beat me to it..

good luck, i do want to see the final solution, --resolution!

 

Its at Spec-Ops right now. The thought was that because it was running abnormally cold (Coldest it would get would be 160ish) that the pistons wern't expanding.

They are checking it out again and also supposed to retune on ECU control boost.

 

My old Evo had a similar issue. No smoke at startup, no blue smoke on wideopen throttle, only a tiny bit at WOT between shifts. No leaks.

Checked the turbo and had two shops check it, seemed fine.
Did valve stem seals and still had the issue.
Installed Saiku Michi? cans, same issue
Finally swapped turbos with someone that upgraded theirs and the issue went away. Very weird since there was very minimal shaft play on my turbo.
Good luck with your issue.

 

pcv good?

 

I hope Spec Ops can get this diagnosed and put your mind at ease, bro. I had a similar issue--ended up being a leaky turbo.
