Heyo all

I did put a rebuilt DOHC into my 1990 and i have noticed it seems to be using up alot of oil. This will be the second time within a months time i will be filling it again. surprisingly the oil dash light does not come on saying its low, was wondering if that light was lost due to the swap. Another thing i have noticed is that the first time it got low on oil after the 3000 mark, it started to make a popcorn sound coming from under the valve cover. Any input to these is greatly appreciated to give me a possible direction to go.

Thank you.
