Forged Build's and Oil Consumption (Come in and post your data)

#1 Material of the pistons
#2 Loose or tight engine(post your clearance if you want)
#3 Break-in procedure (hard from day 1, 20 minute break-in or babied for 500+ miles)
#4 Status of your pcv system

Mine doesnt pertain to a 4.6, but rather a 5.0 pushrod motor.

#1 Forged JE
#2 Tight -- dont know the clearances right off.
#3 Run 30w non synthetic oil and do normal driving for 500 miles with some 3.4
throttle accelerations to help seat the rings.
#4 -12an lines from both VC to a filtered breather tank.

No oil consumptions at all as of late.

But let me add, that on my 4.6 boosted car I currently run breathers only until I can find a suitable check valves for a fair price. PCV is the way to go, I believe better driveability, better fuel mileage, and slightly better performance can be had with a proper PCV system.

spot saved for summary of results

No consumption.
1) 2618 with moly rings
2) Loose
3) Hard, went on the dyno after startup oil change.
4) Breathers

#1 Material of the pistons (2618)
#2 Loose or tight engine (.0045 piston to wall clearnace, .028 ring end gap on first and second ring)
#3 Break-in procedure (Fired it up, checked fluids and put it on the dyno)
#4 Status of your pcv system (Catch can)

I used less than a 1/4 of a quart between oil changes and my catch can would have 4 or 5 taplespoon of oil after a full day of road racing. My car only sees racing so the oil consumption is higher than it would be if I was just commuting.

#1 Material of the pistons- Manley 2618 w/ Total Seal Moly
#2 Loose or tight engine- .003 piston to wall, .018 1st and 2nd second ring, .022 oil
#3 Break-in procedure- Joe Gibbs break in run 15 min change oil and cool down, Joe Gibbs break in w/ 1hr moderate load, then balls to the wall, drain oil change to full syn
#4 Status of your pcv system- Currently all breathers. Will try running pcv hose w/ catch can to blower inlet from passenger side valve cover, vent oil filler neck, and cap driver side. (prochargers recommended setup)

*minimal oil consumption. seems that more oil is breathing from passenger side as well*

2618
.0045 piston to wall, bearing clearances on the loose side.
Broken on the Dyno, followed by 200 miles of varying rpm and loads.
Valve cover Breathers
Oil covers passenger side valve cover! and less than 1/2 quart between oil changes.

1) 2618 with ss rings
2) .004 piston to wall
3) Brad Penn sae30 break in oil for first 20 miles, 2000-4500rpm wot, 20-200 mile 10-40 Brad Penn and 6000 rpms wot during tuning, 200+ miles 10-40 dyno Valvoline or Castroil gtx 6800rpm during tuning. I have 2771 miles on the motor.
4) No oil consumed, except for the small leak on the oil pan gaskets.
Breathers
