Keep in mind at that price you would have to remove engine and assemble the completed long block, the shop would assemble the bottom end only and re-install the valves in the head.

Maybe talk to G5?

I only ever had one B series that burned *almost* no oil, the one that was in my PY ITR, it was a very strong engine too

It might be worth doing the valve seals first, these can be done with the timing belt on and the engine in the car (Compressed air to keep valves from dropping after keepers are removed).

I know this sounds retarded but sometimes I've wondered if the b series engine just pulls so much vacuum that it draws more oil down the valve shaft than a "normal" engine.

G5 quoted me 5k for a full rebuild. The leakdown test showed the valve seals/ guides to be just fine. Just the bottom end needs a rebuild.
