HI OIl Use

I have a 2000 fxdx with a 98ci kit 560 lift cams screaming eagle oil pump/cam plate s/s crankcase breather gear, dorhtery mist free head breathers. The engine runs great but it looses about 3/4's of a quart of oil in about 500 miles. the plugs show no sign of burning it, I have the breathers routed to the air I get a little snot out of the and sometimes a little water. The exhaust is dry. Any fresh ideas would be great.

That is a lot of oil to blow thru. Start with a leakdown test and see what you find. More than likely it's rings/valves causing your oil issue. Time to freshen up that top end.
