A top end rebuild will affect your bottom end. Unless the engine has less than say, 100K on it. And I've see where even that can still cause some problems with burning oil.

I have no idea the milage on the motor, it's 350 sbc from a '75 chevy, dunno what model car, the engine suffix and partial vin on the engine have been inconclusive. Im fairly sure the motor has well over 100k on it, if I'm replacing from the intake manifold up I won't have a problem with it burning oil, will I? And good advice I'll take into account when I do get around to replacing the heads
