It sounds like the piston rings are sticking. It's not uncommon for M112/113's. My shop re-rings about one or two every month to resolve oil consumption complaints. Before we tear them down though, we perform a borescope inspection of the cylinder walls. Every now and then we find severe scoring. In these cases we replace the engine block with a set of fitted pistons.
