Okay so I just got finished rebuilding my 7m-ge. I am still in the process of breaking it in (250 miles ATM, but this is my daily) and I am smoking lots of blue smoke. Usually I know that it's whatever oil deposits that are in the exhaust, cat, or whatever that is burning so I didn't mind it much.
After a while I started to notice my oil level going low on my dipstick. I fill it with 6 qts of Valvoline straight 30 w/ detergent and I had to fill a quart up yesterday and today because the dipstick reading was low. I am not visually leaking any oil...anyone have any suggestions?!?! I've done my searches already for a few days now and nothing that really points to my answer.
I have new pistons + rings and new valve seals and also am not leaking coolant. I broke it in my the "hard" method but I might have accidently drove it at WOT from not being accustomed to the throttle sensitivity (Drove a van during the rebuild; those throttles are heavy).
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
