What exactly do you claim is going to change in that engine that has not already changed at 1200 miles that will prevent further oil burning?

on the S, there were guys that saw oil consumption for the first 7k, then went on and have 150k+ with no issues.

S2K did not have conventional cylinder walls, either. IT falls into the category of the BMW motorcycle as an outlier. The 370Z has steel-lined aluminum cylinder walls and hypereutectic pistons along with plasma-moly rings, no?

You told me they did. Further, I think the S2K uses forged pistons, no?

You cited it as an example. Can you think of a different example, with conventional steel liners/hyper pistons?
