I have a 05 900 fusion. 3800 trouble free miles & now its kicking my a_ _. it uses twice as much oil as normal & i can't find it. it has 200 miles on complete overhaul. cases & cyls ported, crank trued welded,06 pistons, new 2 me injectors cleaned & tested, fbf throttle-oil cable, ect. the oil pump marks are aligned, it sets & looses no oil so i don't think its the center seal. oil pump spring working properly.(i even tried a second spring just to be sure it was pulling back all the way) what should i check next? I am stumped. thanks

To decrease oil consumption, you will want to lengthen the cable a small amount. Keep in mind you want to wind up with a ratio of around 38:1 or so... My sled has been using a lot of oil since I put a new cable on it and I finally checked the ratio... 28:1:face-icon-small-sho Unfortunately the oil pump is very difficult to get to on these things, but once you pull off the throttle bodies, at least you can get to it.

Just remember a little more oil is better than not enough. Too much oil means foul plugs. Not enough means fouled engine. So go slow as you start to decrease the oil consumption

That's probably about right. I plan my fuel stops based on 100 miles / tank.

It takes a lot of gas to make all that torque! As far as steering look at the sticky titled "useful links" for newer spindle update. but please stay on topic.
