According to a conversation I had with an apparently knowledgeable
fellow at Continental Motors, the oil consumption limit is .01 lbs. /
brake HP / hour
I neglected to ask if he meant the assumed power output at the time or
the nominal engine HP - at the time the assumption seemed nominal
engine HP
If I did the math right, if you take less than 27.5675 minutes to suck
a quart, that's too much, based on 85 HP and 7 1/2 lbs. per gallon -
I'd be interested in correction if I mathed rong

(my engine takes a little longer, but it runs really well and has low
hours (operating), but high hours (calendar) - as far as the calendar
hours go, the Continental guy told me that their concern is for things
such as rubber seals and the like that are apt to degrade with time -
so I feed its habit)
