I got to dig in on the 350 a little more. It's not as bad as I thought it might be, but it's also not as good as it could be. Compression is down substantially on a couple cylinders so it eventually needs a rebuild. As I suspected, the valve stem o-rings are toast. I'm going to go ahead and replace those in the mean time to try to stem the oil consumption while we plan for a rebuild. The valves only the o-ring on them. Just confirming the other seals (FelPro 13350) aren't used in a bone stock setup.
