In my very original 56 Exec with 34K miles (when i got it) oil consumption was about 1 qt every 700 miles. After my mods to the overhead it is still 700 miles/qt.

Most likely due to rings. I've never replaced them and at 34K miles they should not have needed replacing.

Pay close attention to one of the SC's that indicate piston rings installed upside down.

SC vol 30 #2 p 7.
