valves can loose their heads dropping them into the cylinders to do mechanical grief.

At 59k miles I had a top end done to fix
premature valve guide wear. Note the word premature... I noticed an increase in oil consuption @ about 51k.
The car ran fine. It "appeared" to smoke very little. Oil consumption was around 1qt/ 400 mi. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Besides the oil consumption another dead giveaway was the constant fouling of the plug in #6.
My compression and leakdown numbers were fine.
Watch for plug fouling, and plan for a top end in the near future. Also consider a new clutch and the g-50 upgrade.
Or... selling your motor and upgrading to a 3.6. I wish I'd done that (damn).
