Time to address rebuilt engine oil consumption

Just came in from the shop. Here is some more info. I did the test AJ suggested. No vacuum pulling on gauge. I did notice slight pressure by feel not gauge. I repeated test and saw oil mist from breather hole when PCV was disconnected & plugged. I also repeated the compression test with similar results. I was mistaken and didn't get very much more when cranking for maximum. Compression 1-148psi, 3-150psi, 5-152psi, 7-150psi, 2-155psi, 4-155psi, 6-156psi, 8-154psi. AJ-The seals are stock OEM type.

Next steps:
1) Pulling valve covers watching valve train.
2) Pulling and checking push rods. #1 intake was a little noisy on startup but, quieted down.
3) Repeat leak down. I'm buying some new gauges.

I'll report back in a few days. Again Thanks! Craig
