Default 99 RX300 Oil consumption, good comprression

Hi, I have a 99 RX300. bought it at 113k about 2 months ago. Now has 121k miles. Uses a qt about every 500-750 miles. Tried changing to different weight oils, not much improvement. Pulled the valve covers. Alittle dirty, but no sludge. I bought the new style valve covers and pcv, but not installed yet. Will this reduce my oil consumption? Compression is 200psi per cyl. it is deffinitely going thru the pcv and thru the intake and plugs. What else can I do?? Everyone want to sell me a short block. Suggestions??? thanks,


Mod Edit
I have moved your previous post to the ongoing oil consumption thread. Please PM me or another mod if you have issues Thanks
Salim
