I'm actually seeing about 5hrs now, with no leak.
Should I be concerned?
Depends. Is the consumption stable? How is the compression? Most
importantly, where do you keep the oil level. If you try to keep the
crankcase full (8 qts) it will go though oil like crazy. We try to keep the
level between 6 and 6.5 qts.
BTW, after break-in our new engine consumes about 1 qt/12-15 hrs.
