I have lycoming 0-360 with 500 hrs rebuilt 2 years ago. I cannot get top end from burning oil?? I have rehoned cylinders 2 with no change in performance 1qt in 4 hours. I recently pulled cylinders off for 3rd go sent them back to ECI they said they were fine nothing wrong!! I used phillips xc 20-50 on first run used phillip straight mineral oil on second run ran exactly how eci said to break them. These are steel cylinders not sure what else to try besides lycoming cylinders but that a expensive maybe it will work!! There are lots of eci cylinders out there that seem to work fine not sure what else I can possible try. I added air oil separator trying to mask problem I get zero oil out breather tube BUT still uses 1 qt in 4 hours from day I but together till today it has used 1 qt in 4 hours zero change. I have charile center 180 conversion pa-12 82-42 paddle prop thanks for any and all advice!!
