rebuilt engine prelude, noisy burns oil

Hey,

I went ahead and rebuilt my prelude engine. the builder told me it be
just like new. But it seems unchanged to me. I expected it to sound
quieter but it sounds the same. It also burnt 2 quarts of oil in 800
miles. The installer (different then the builder) says that if it
continues to burn oil, there is most likely an internal engine problem.

My questions are: how common is this after a rebuild. Also, I was
expecting it to sound like a new engine as well, was this expecting too
much? Someone told me that maybe the sound is the lifters. Didn't
they replace this with the rebuild?
