Hey I just rebuilt the whole head on my engine, new valve cover gasket, head gasket, new valves, new camshaft, and It burns like a quart every 2 weeks, what the hell is going on?

Do you see blue-ish smoke in the exhaust?
If so, when? All the time when running or at start up after sitting overnight?

Have you done a compression test on it?
