David,

The valve guides require the head to come off, and the rings 
require a complete overhaul.

You can buy a truckload of expensive oil, and two truckloads 
of cheap oil for that and drive the car like it is for years.

Unless you just need a motor overhaul, I would put it off 
till that time comes, or you trade/sell the vehicle.

If the car is like my SHO's, it is a part of the family, and 
in that case, you find a good mechanic (one of the many 
quality shops/people in the SHO community that do WAY better 
work than the typical car dealer or shop) and spend the money.
