RE: Oil consuming 428 ?'s

James had all very good suggestions. If a guide or seal is leaking, it'd tend to smoke visibly and the particular plug will tell. I'd just add that your piston to wall clearance is a tad high (about 2x) and if you've got low tension rings, and/or are not gapped & oriented properly, that can add to a potential blow-by problem... 428's need good crankcase venting and a windage tray at a minimum...both are critical.
This thread, so far...
