Lol do it up man!
Don't worry too much bout the motor burning oil so long as you keep the level within range. I wouldn't let it get you down. Also, no you can't change valve guides with your method...that is only for changing out valve springs and retainers.

I will probably just leave it alone and add oil as I go

Its been a week and a half, and the oil level hasn't moved any... I haven't added a drop since I put more in on the 24th.
Is that normal?

the oil rings on cyl 3 are starting to go out on my engine. the compression has dropped but not significantly. the car doesn't smoke unless i really lay into it hard. like i'm really pissed off hard. does it burn oil otherwise? yes:
during daily driving around town the oil level will stay till about 2,600 miles then i'm down about a quart
during highway driving the loss of oil happens between 2,000 - 2,300 miles
you can get a compression check done if you are not seeing a leak elsewhere like a rear main seal, etc.
good luck.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Thanks for the tip rangcrx, I actualy use the Permatex red engine lube, but tried that graphite lube on a set of cams because I liked the thickness of it. Also rangcrx if I found a block with a good stock bore and had it honed and reused stock pistons, where should I get my rings to fit the stockers??
