@ SlickGT1 - Thanks! I need all the help I can get!

@Bulk - thanks for the references. Everything help. I will be paying for the 24 hr subscription to attempt specific information (torque values, etc,) and will let you know if it's worth it.

@steelheader - The dealer quote included removing the heads completely and machine shop time to replace the valve guides. I am going to replace the seals in car (without removing the heads) and do not plan on replacing the guides. I am betting (and crossing my fingers) that the seals are just a weak point and that the guides are ok. I don't see many issues about the guides and will see what happens. Unless I find a more complete package, I am planning on the head set (less head gaskets) to make sure that I have every little seal that I need.

@julezw - I have about 115,000 on the vehicle and this started at about 100,000. Oil consumption hasn't been too excessive but it does use oil...about a quart every 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for all the replies and please keep them coming! I really can't wait on the repair because I live in an area where if you don't pass smog you can't renew your registration without additional pains. My last attempt using the additive has failed as well. I am going to start buying my parts and tools now for sure. Been busy with work and won't start the job for two weeks but want to make sure I have everything before I start the job. Thanks all!
