like the other guys said, check your compression... I'm sure it's gonna be down
well.. with that said, I burn off a little oil too, but when I compression tested, I am at exactly 182 psi for each cylinder - they're all exactly the same.

I'm running 9.5:1 with total seal rings and OEM head gasket. Any idea why I'd be burning off oil?
