Good questions!

The valve job consisted of new guides and seals and gaskets. I have not had to replace seats or valves. I saw a head that had a seat replaced and it fell out after 10k miles. I would NEVER allow a seat to be replaced.

After the valve job, the engine runs as new again.

No oil consumption.
