CM870 just went through 15gallons of oil in 1 week!

Ok so... I've been spending more time on the forum getting trying to learn more! My truck made it to the shop today for an overhaul. I would like to demandate it ASAP. With a fresh overhaul on the way I would like clean oil. Like I said its a cm870 CPL 8520 on 2007 KW T600 Engine No. 79184741. I just received my inline 6 and pyrometer/boost gauge. I am in the process finding windows 7 for my MacBook air.

These are some highlights of what I have learned on this forum so far.... make sure liner height is measured at top of liner to top of block but definitely from where the liner sits on block to the top of block to measure any drop, shim oil pump (8dimes), oil bypass valve(or bypass filter), piston cooling nozzles, clean oil passages, clean all air intake, and egr sensors.... But I also don't wanna waste money.... I really wanna demandate it! My question is, do I still need to buy delta-p and other egr sensors if I'm gonna demandate it? If not then I'd rather save that money for the demandate. Also do I need a EGR plug set? Any recommendations on CAC or Radiator brands? OEM is a bit pricey at 2,972 for Rad and 1,095 for CAC at least for the moment!

This is where I'm at so far. Like I mentioned earlier I really would have like to have made it to a shop like mr. haggai's or gearhead's but with my funds, distance and planning I really limited (screwed) myself. Anyway this is where I begin. Any insight is welcome. And I will post pictures and ask more questions with progress. Thanks!
