Do a leak down test on it to determine whether it's the rings or the valves.
Mine was burning lots of oil too - it was the rings and the valve guides.
The oil scraper rings were seriously stuck in what appeared to be a
carbon-concrete.

Subject: [TR] TR6 burning oil
My friend's TR6 is consuming oil. In addition, the #5 spark plug fouls
regularly and needs to be cleaned or replaced to run smoothly again. I am
guessing these two issues might be related... The oil fouling the plug...
If that is the case, what is the most likely route for the oil problem?
>From the cylinder head? Or from the rings?
