I hope LPE does not beat me to the punch. I have a highly
modified O-360 which has 331hrs. on it, and has consumed two quarts.
When it reaches  700 hours, I am scheduled to write two
magazine articles on it. No rocket science here, just basic
auto racing technology. Interestingly enough, I had to reduce and
reshape the intake ports (smaller) for better flow.
The customer's cost for all the parts I utilized were somewhat less than
the aircraft parts, Including custom made pistons, and valves.
I provided all the machine work free to prove how simple it is to do.
Incredible as it may seem, Lycoming allows as much as 1qt. per hr.

You need a lot of slop in there Arch to allow people to 
over heat it without siezeing the pistons :-)
What CHT have you been running it at?
