I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Assuming the head gaskets are properly sealed the only way oil can be burned is past the rings or past the valve stem seals. So either the oil control ring is not scraping hard enough, the compression rings are not gapped properly or not staggered properly or the the cylinder is out of round. However if it just started happening it is possible that a ring or a valve stem seal failed.

Do a leak down test and find out how the oil is getting into the cylinder.
