Default the oil issue

My internet research on the PT turned up the oil consumption issue--about 1qt per 1K miles for those with the problem. The only fault suggestion found was a bogus vent on an aftermarket valve cover. Unless there is an obvious leak, IMO the only reasons for oil loss are bad valve guides, rings that did not seat during break-in, or improperly honed cylinder walls. Has anyone determined the cause with these engines?
