My 3.2 does not burn or leak at all. After a year of driving, redline at least once a drive. it has 3/4 a qt less then when the oil was changed in the spring. Around 5k miles. Prob burns 1 qt per 10k miles. Not to say it could not use new rings at 120k miles (also has original clutch and has been to several DE's). Go figure, think I got a good one (burnt valve is the PO's fault for not doing valve adjustments last 10 years).

Assuming the cylinders are Nikisil, will deglaze and new rings. If Aluisis, will likely bore, plate and install 98 mm pistons.

Car is heavy and can use all the HP I can find.
