It's been over a year since my rebuild, so I don't remember exactly. But I don't think mine burned that much. Did you take it out right away and try to seat the rings?

that is alot..
depends on the break in.
some say take it easy, very the rpm's.
others say rod the hell out of it, burn outs, pressure breaking to get the parts to mesh while the machineing is still fresh.

I am not sure what way I lean, but I kinda took it easy and there was not much change, then I started rodding it and that is when it seemed to (break in).

but that is alot of oil.

good luck, post up what you find, I would do a compression check. wet and dry.
