I had oil consumption issues also. Changed out the intake gaskets with SCE 1/8" thick gaskets and used Permatex Hylomar on both sides of the gaskets first problem solved. Checked the plugs and had one oil fould. Replaced the valve seals and now it is tan like the others. Try the simple fixes first before tearing the engine apart to replace rings.
