Is it burning oil ?

I wouldnt go by a set number , you need to do a dry/wet test. Do a compression test then repeat it but put a good squirt of 10w40 down the bores , if the compression goes up by 50/60psi + , your rings are worn .

But dont forget about the valve guides/seals and the PCV valve , do/get a leak down test done that will check for valve leaks and bypass your PCV to rule that out aswell.

You need to be 100% on the diagnosis before you rip her apart

Hope that hepls mate.
