Engine Oil Consumption
i keep checking it every week and just today i had checked it , it shows above the low mark by little ( that mean it still consuming oil)
and i the cat is done around 2750 KM ( 1718Mi) when i had replaced the oil , i think this is abnormal consumption

Before you add any of these snake oil treatments, add 1/2 qt of oil (and a second if necessary) and note the oil level. Check it every 100 miles. These cars usually don't burn any oil between oil changes.
You then leave it for 4 hours per 90* of engine rotation to let it try and soften the carbon locking the rings up. B12 is a moderately strong solvent that won't cause to LS y issues even if you are stupid with it unlike some of the serious solvents. That's why I suggested it, I've had it work many times in many brands engines without having to run the risk of the strong stuff.
The oil I was referring to was the snake oil! 
I wouldn't have thought an LS engine with only 80k miles on it would need cylinder decarbonization(?) In the old day, we used 2 stroke oil to accomplish the same thing. Don't know if it actually did anything but that was the conventional wisdom in the 1960s.
