Five0-
Your rings should have seated by now. After the initial 20 minutes @ 2000 rpm's, a new engine should be subjected to several short, hard bursts of loaded acceleration in order to properly seat the rings. If you totally granny it, they'll never seal. In other words, hit it hard from a dead stop for 4 or 5 seconds, several times. This should seat the rings.

Purple dude-
Do you have a filter installed underneath the PCV valve, above the baffle? If not, get one. If so, change it to a clean one. This should greatly reduce your oil consumption.

Take care
