Did you rebuild the head as well? I had a car that did the vanishing oil
trick. Plugs looked fine, everything was fine (except for low compression
and 177,000M motor) except for the oil that it kept drinking. 
Turned out it was burning the oil. I never saw any smoke from it, but the
black sooty tailpipe told the tale. Turned out that I needed new valve
stem seals. Replaced them and the oil problem was lessened but the bad
shape of the rings still allowed oil to be burnt. Im sure this isn't the
case with your motor, but if oil is disappearing and its not leaking a
drop, then its simply got to be burning it. 
HTH!
