That is high usage...
How many miles is that per month and what viscosity oil are you using?

10w40 fully synthetic. And about 800 miles per month.

i would love to, but the money quoted is about all I can afford without any other unexpected bills.

Is time an issue? Why not wait a while and save some more pennies. Then think it over again?

James - Yours had a cylinder head overhaul not a full rebuild...quite different

Nobody can promise 100% no oil burning without going down the route of oversizing with new pistons, rings and valve guides (not seals) but if Sam is using 1.5lts a month (per 800 miles) then it can certainly be dramatically improved with a full refresh.

Ratty - H22 rings are not a weak point in the slightest - remember we are generally talking about engines these days that have well over 100k on them that have been revved hard for many of those miles. Things wear, more so if not looked after correctly from day one and if I'm honest, the majority of H22s I see these days have strong evidence to suggest that they have not had regular oil changes or indeed have had decent oil used.

Sam - It's your call, if you want it rebuilt we'll book it in (about to reply to your PM), if not, no worries

Correct translation.
Ratty you sexy muffin. Just run 9psi on your supercharger. Your rings won't sting.
