Burn lot of oil, did the compression text at stsge 6 and it lost only 5% on all cylinder so. It consumed 1quart every 500 miles and it smoke it ass off. I think is the valve seal or possible head gasket.

If its valve seals, it normally only smokes at start up, after being parked for a while.

Seals could cause your oil consumption issue.

agree it could be the valve seals.

also, compression rings and oil rings are two different things. you can have good compression but bad oil rings.

any oil in the coolant reservoir?
