I have 2000 miles on my 489. Running Diamond pistons at .005 clearance with low-tension oil rings.

I burned 1/2 quart at about the 1000 mile mark, then none by the 2K mark. All street miles, one 500 miles day, but mostly relatively short trips

I was very fussy on clearances and run good viton valve seals
