ok, so no smoke, no problems, no noises... factor valve covered changed out. 2 oil changes later I check the oil before the next change is needed and it isn’t even on the stick. What is wrong with darn thing?!

Have you tried a catch can?, that's what many of the members use and recommend to help eliminate the oil consumption, if there is no leaks and no smoking then it's probably still sucking it in the intake.
Any particular brand or company that makes the catch can?

Thats what I was looking at. I have a question on this though. Catching the oil before going into the intake is good but how is it being recirculated back into the engine? Is it something you have to empty back into the engine periodically?
NO, that is why it is called a "catch can" the oil is captured in the can then you periodically dispose of it as it fills up.
