Hi guys - I know this is a common thread but I am struggling to find a sensible answer.
My newly built HArtech engine (4k Miles) appears to be using quite a bit of oil - circa 1 bar every 500-1000 miles on the digital guage. Manual check backs this up.
Does each engine have its own character, or is this of concern? No leaks, no performance issues, no smoke etc (unless very cold outside - engine is warm yes, and on full 6k rpm blasting)
Only thing to note is tappet noise is loud on cold start and since the oil service 1500 miles ago, oil is still clear and clean.
Thanks guys
