Result -oil consumption higher

Nickthecook - what do you mean with short on the Throttle body connector plug? Would not a new Throttle body resolve that?

Next - new oil rings. If that resolves oil issue i will let you know.

1l in 2000kms is not really that high in terms of these engines when they are using oil. would you consider just doing the valve stem seals... this can be done with the head still on the engine obviously if this did not cure the issue you would be repeating much of the work but I suspect if you were set up you could do the seals in a few hours...
