Re: Freshly rebuilt 350 burning oil and tappet noise.

From your last post, sounds like to me, The cam has a wiped lope or a faulty lifter. If the cam is wiped there will be metal shavings in the pan. so pull the pan to get all that out. I would check the bearings also, especially since it ran for as long as it did.
