Sam - It's your call, if you want it rebuilt we'll book it in (about to reply to your PM), if not, no worries

im all in for this. i probably over quantified the oil usage, but it is a fair amount. i don't necessarily top it up every month either. i also take into account that the car does also have lots of mini oil leaks as well and my drive does now have a dark patch where i park.

@rich: fair point

If its got more than a couple of seeps then its best to get it done over so you know you get another 80k out of it. Specially if you're keeping it for time.

Correct translation.
Ratty you sexy muffin. Just run 9psi on your supercharger. Your rings won't sting.

Correct....but your piston ringlands will collapse

Prolapse of the ringland?

Sounds like I'm generally in the minority then, thinking the oil usage sam quoted was high and in having ludes that don't drink that much (my ukdm has over 130k on the clock and uses about 1litre per 6k miles, lisa's jdm has about 90k on the clock and uses no more than that.)
But hey...

my engine was probably using the same rate of oil..

after rich fingered around in my engine, its how it should be

holds its oil much better now.
