RE: engine problems
Do you have a power decrease? Before you jump on the worst case scenario, why don't you do a compression test on the engine. If your rings are worn this will surely show itself in a compression test.
You may just need a valve seal job. I have heard a lot about the 4.6 V8s either go for indefinite time without the valve seals goin or they go really quick.
Compression test and see what that yields. It just may need a set of valve seals. As far as I know those when they go that's when you chug oil.
