So you're saying you had the head rebuilt, installed it, and now the car is losing oil?

That wouldn't be a surprise on a high mileage car when the new head increased the compression. Probably should have thought better about doing that head and just replaced the motor in the first place.

I can smell that situation. Belt was ignored long enough to break so what else on the maintenance was ignored. Lower end may have been marginal before.
Any way to find out how much oil it is using now and trust that info?
Is this the type customer that just spent some bucks and now YOU own everything ever wrong with the car type?
Never mind your technical/mechanical skills you need to be a mind reader as well,

Yes, the timing belt broke at 96813 miles, bent all the intake valves we had them and the guides replaced, put everything back together, and now the check engine light flashes and they have had to add sometimes up to 2 quarts of oil at a time, they now have 100637 miles on it

Pull the codes and post them. They don't fix the belt when they should, doubt they took care of it any other way either. Bet this used oil before and they're trying to screw you into giving them a new motor. If no external leaks and head is all good the customer is the only part needing replacement. We've all dealt with them. Good luck.

They have been driving it around for around 4,000 miles with the check engine light flashing? Yikes.

They've been awarded the coveted Massengill award for being a complete and total douchebag. I have an artist carving it from marble as we speak.
