  Matt,
  
  I have a Beech Sierra with an IO360 and have always been plagued with oil
  consumption problems.  It is set up with fuel injection (obviously) but runs
  with the standard magneto ignition.  I had a top overhaul  done a few years
  ago and, afterwards, oil consumption was so bad, the mechanic agreed to redo
  it at no charge.  That helped, but did not cure the problem.  I still burn
  about one quart every two hours more or less.  The oil is always black -
  indicating blow by (I'm told),  I complained on and off for months to the
  mechanic who did the work, but I finally gave up and am just living with the
  problem - and using a different mechanic.
  
  I can't see how the ignition system has anything to do with oil consumption,
  but I'm far from expert on aircraft engines.
  
  Regards,
  John Barrett
