It gets bored if that will bring it within spec on roundness and taper, otherwise, it will need to be sleeved. Not sure if a reman can have a sleeve or not.

They should bore them all to the next size available as standard practice but you never know. There are any number of things that could go wrong after that but none that have to do with a seasoned vs a new block. Maybe somebody put the standard rings in an overbore block by mistake.

:quote: are you sure it is not a turbo problem that could be causing the oil consumption? :quote:

no_6_oh_no , they installed a new turbo when they dropped the motor in but this does make me curious. guess I'm still hoping it might be something simple. is a turbo using engine oil a common thing? I never really see any smoke except an occasional small blue "poof" about 30 seconds after start up.
