All Brand new seals meaning "easy to get to gaskets" or full rebuild?

Your motors eating it, either through the rings, or your valve guids in your head are shot and its pissing through that. are you blowing any smoke?

How long is it in between your oil changes? how fast is it consuming the oil?

221000 is a nice chunk of miles the motors tired and worn, u cant expect it to not burn oil.

In the morning after it sits over night it smokes a lil bit? Then its your valve seals in the head.

When there shot they shrink from sitting (like over night) when all the oil drains outa em, when u start up they start to get soaked with oil again and swell up, there still leaking just not even to smoke.

Rings. Period. Just plain worn out.

You can still get good compression and have bad oil rings and get blowby.
