Good luck mate, i emailed them about this very thing, high volume oil pump and poor drain back hole in the head can cause the top end of the motor to flood with oil, didn't get much back from them on that one, i was told by a work shop in the US ( i won't mention names) that changing to a standard oil pump can help and has solved some oil burn problems on these 427's he has fitted.
