What's bugging me is it starts up in 30+ weather.
Could it burn 1 qt every 5 hours and yet be able to develop enough compression to start in 30+ weather?
You are confusing compression and oil control.
pistons have both rings.. oil control rings. and compression rings.
if your compression is good.. then i bet the oil control ring is bad.. In that case.. i wouldn't think it overheated.. as I think all the rings would have cooked.. etc..
