J.:
Any chance you are using one of the add on external oil feed
pipes to get extra oil to your top end? If so, try removing it and
returning to the factory oiling arrangement. The external oil feeds have
a reputation for causing excess oil consumption in some cars.

was 1000 miles ago; using 20-50w racing oil; have used now 1.5 qts, oil
pressure around 30 when running over 1 hour; 20-25 at idle;start up
until warm 75 psi; some wet oil blow out present from exhaust-no smoke;
is this normal?will have tappets adjusted next week,head was re-torqued
at 600 miles.if not normal should I consider leak test, could something
have gone wrong with valve etc?
