Many years ago I was working for an engine reconditioning company, and we started having an odd problem with GM engines using lots of oil after rebuilds, we tried different types of running in oil etc, nothing seemed to work, the engines would not smoke on start up, or if you revved them up standing still, however; once you got them out on the open road, they would go through oil dramatically, anyway, long story short, it turned out the guy that was boring the cylinders in the blocks had his settings wrong for this particular engine type, therefore the piston ring to cylinder gap was larger than it should have been.
