I have a theory, and I wonder if someone can chime in if it's possible:
I rebuilt the hydraulic lifters. Took them all apart then before installing, put them in an oil bath and pumped them up absolutely full, then installed the cams. Is it possible then that at first crank the valves were over extended and smacked the valve stem seals with the spring retainer? This would obviously ruin the seal and cause oil burning under almost all vacuum conditions.
Tonight I'll be checking a whole bunch of things already suggested and I'll report back with some results...
Thanks everyone for the help!
