Re: Seat engine rings
Comments: Though the oil consumption would be considered high, I believe it does not exceed Lycoming's maximum consumption which I think is a quart in two hours (verification needed of this comment). Leaning is always a good idea and though I realize it can increase your workload during approaches, the mixture only needs to be rich during the missed approach (assuming within a couple thousand feet of sea level, if you're in the high country, full rich would likely not be appropriate even then.) My opinion is your mixture being full rich is not the likely cause of the oil consumption however I'm no expert. More information is needed to determine if a problem exists.

Re: Seat engine rings
Warren you need to have a mechanic look at your engine. You cannot add a little MMO to fix what is clearly something wrong internally. Hey don't feel bad I have an engine that is now beyond TBO so I too have been looking to put a reman in my plane. Good luck.
