Theres a dodgy trick to be done at your own risk to help bed the rings in, involves a dose of abrasive down the inlets, done it a few times on light aero engines when the bores have glazed up and compression dropped down usually using the old style of vim cleaner, get it warm and under a bit of load and chuck some vim down the inlet to rough up the bores and rings and allow to settle in again, most times compression comes back up and oil consumption drops.
Never tried it on nicosil bores only on nitrided steel bores and chrome bores.
As said at your own risk but may save a strip down.
