No more adding a quart.

Well, I've got about 500 miles on my car since all the recent maintenance. To my surprise, it appears that the valve seals I replaced have did away with the engine's 1 quart per 1,000 mile thirst. 500 miles, and it doesn't appear that the oil level has dropped at all. Deep down, I figured the seals wouldn't have helped a bit, but convinced myself to give it a shot. The blue smoke out the exhaust seemed to be getting quite bad whenever I'd jump on the throttle, and was quite sure it was due to cylinder wear and a need for a rebuild. Now I seem good to go and likely to hit the desired 200,000 mark before a rebuild/replacement of the engine.
