Default I got some bad news about my engine

Some of you might have seen that I been fighting a oil consumpion issue and a leaky rear main seal since I bought the car.
I finally bit the big one and had my mechanic yank the engine out and disassemble and evauluate what is goin wrong. Today I found out that bearing were scarred up and the cylinder walls on 4 are no good. It looks like they might have to bore it .030 over and get new pistons.
This is not the news I was hoping for but if it fixes the oil issue it is worth it.

BTW, there is only 2400 miles on the motor..
