You should not have any consumption problems for the time being, but in the near future, you may start losing a quart every few thousand, by which time you gotta realize the guides are bad, not the stems....and all that burned oil is reducing the life of your cats.

Any idea why your guides were already worn with only 90k ish on the engine? How much did your mechanic charge to rebuild the head? (I may go that route someday on my 300E)
