Hi,

My 2.4 l appears to be needed a rebuild due to a huge blue clould on decelleration (valve guides?) and an oil consumption of 1 qt every 2-300 miles. While I know I will need the heads done, how great is my risk of needing the studs time-certed? The engine has 112,000 miles. There are some seeps around the cylinders that appear to be where the heads meet the jugs.

My wrench tells me that I can let this go for quite a while with no adverse impact (except to my pride and my purchase of castrol one quart at a time).

Thanks.
