The crankcase only holds 1.5 qts IIRC. you can't be burning a quart of oil. The motor would lock up if it was that low. If the dipstick reads 1/4 full, then you would add 3/4 of a pint to bring it up to full.

I'll tell you the same thing I told you to do with your 161. Either pay someone to overhaul it, or you overhaul it. I'm not surprised at all that this motor burns oil. All the K series engines are old and tired.
