[peppy]

I pulled the car out yesterday and started driving it again. I have put in a new battery and it cranks and runs a little better.

I have 800 miles on the rebuild so far and about 300 miles on the last oil change. I had to add a quart today, I don't see any smoke when it's idling. I think I need to ride behind it and see if it is puffing smoke.

I think I remember Wayne's book saying that a quart every 300 miles on a rebuild was normal. How long should this be normal?

I'm not too concerned with oil consumption yet, but I am keeping a close eye on it.
