If you need new bushings pressed in on the small ends, I noticed yesterday that a machine shop charges $180 to bore them all and $11.25 per rod to install.

Liners can be had for about $30 each. I'd just get the first oversize ring set and bore/hone the current liners. Getting new liners installed and honed was by far the most expensive line item from my machine shop. It was $70 per hole to resleeve and hone.

A friend of mine was able to score a first oversize piston set for a 240D on eBay last year for a hundred dollars. Far better than the $1000 I paid for a new set for a 300SDL.

You can certainly search the web for the other various parts prices as well as using the "Buy Parts" button at the top of this page.

I'd also be looking at some R&R work on the head. Disassemble the head and check the valves and mating surfaces. There are specs in the FSM that you can check against to see if you need new valves and the head reground. Since you were using 1 quart of oil per 300 miles, you may want to consider getting new valve guides installed. New seals I think come in the head gasket set. A three angle grind on the valve seats will be about $100 or so.
