Re: Rebuilt engine
Tear it down and check it out.
You never know what you’ll find.
I had a 396 once. Always burned oil. 500 miles to a quart. Checked the bore. No ridge, minimal taper. Ball honed it to clean it up and put in new rings. The correct ones. It turns out it had 30 over rings in a 40 over block.
Cured that oil problem.
All done with a like new motor for less than 500 bucks.
