Hi there,

this is not always the case, what happens is that if you over haul the heads and increase compressions to the cylinders, if the rings are weak, you can experience oil consumption problems, what you can do is get a leak down test done first to determine the condition of the rings, if the engine is already using oil, this will not be helpful and you may wish to do the engine as a unit repair.
