rebuilt engine and burning oil

    The mechanic who recently rebuilt the engine in my 95 SC2 said that it might
    burn a little oil at first. I've been checking it weekly and this morning I
    noticed it had indeed burned a "little" oil. It was around 2 quarts low!!
    I added some oil and I guess there wasn't any damage but is this really
    normal? Is he being honest or am I being taken for a ride.

    Thanks,
    -Mark

    Assuming they put new rings in, I suppose there might be some oil
    consumption until the rings seat fully, but 2 quarts seems a tad high. How
    many miles on it now since the rebuild?

    If that rate of oil consumption keeps up, I'd certainly complain..
