Default 2 Litre oil consumption

The 2 main possibilities are damaged or worn out rings/pistons , or, more simply, worn valve guides. Compression testing and video inspection will help clarify. If the engine was well rebuilt -bottom end done properly with crank reground, and bores not scored or worn out - just fitting a new set of modern, forged pistons isn't too enormous a job. Annoying, though.
