Yeah, I figured the valve guide seals where an issue since every head gasket kit includes them. I gave my idiot friend there version of freshening up this motor:

Head gasket and seals, check the bearings and new timing set...epect to burn some oil

All of the above plus bearings, valve stem seals and front crank seal

Full disassembley of both head and engine, machine of both for true flat, hot tank, re-hone, fresh rings and everything listed above.

As I mentioned, he is an idiot but I was clear that I thought the first option was the most reasonable. I expect he will pick the second thought I believe it overkill.

So not advice on the oil pump or pump pick-up...which normally makes them an unlikely cause of failure.
