How many miles do you have on the engine since it was built? It's not uncommon to have some oil consumption during break-in, but yours sounds like it's a little excessive. Bad exhaust valve guides and/or valve stem seals will allow oil to get into the exhaust without being burned in the combustion chamber, also.
