If I have to I guess I'll just have to pull 9 gm off 5, but it seems a cumbersome way to solve the problem. I ended up with a 6th piston at the light end of the lightest group weight.

Rebuilding a engine is a "cumbersome" way to stop it from consuming to much oil, but in the long run much better than just pouring in STP oil treatment.
Do it nice or do it twice!
