[V8] V8 Valve Job

[Stafford, Kenneth A.]

Reading Dave's post below, made me wonder, is this a common problem for these
engines?  My '91 has 215K on it (the last 100K by me), AFFAIR has never had
any top end work, and never reaches the "fill mark" prior to its routine 5000
mi dingo fluid change. I have never had a car that didn't use more oil at
100K than this car does at 215. Should I be knocking on the burled walnut?
