Yup.. that's been the recent "theory". Check the other consumption thread.

I actually had mine at 110 mph before I had 1000 miles on ie - but just for a few seconds. I have always heard that during break in - it is best if you dont run them at just a constant speed. ( No, I dont mean necessarily 110 either ).
Have 3000 on it now - and no engine or oil consumption problems.

That exactly what was happening to the QR. I posted that in the other thread but no one cared. If you have oil consumption get a compression test. If they change the engine take a really good look at the cats. If the cats are dissenagrating then your new engine will do the same and your SOL.
