A quart every 2 hours? I would be surprised the plugs are not fouled up to stop the engine from running. If that is the case, something must be very wrong somewhere.

Remove the spark plugs and check if they are fouled.
Check for leakages.

They are fouled very fouled they are completely covered with engine oil as far as leaks go the only one I can see and its very little is right buy the oil pan right next to the flywheel side I'm pretty sure its the gasket that needs to be changed on it but I don't think its that bad of a leak and few drips here and there

I still believe you have a problem with the valve seals. You might need to check the piston rings as well but piston rings should not be that bad, if it is so, you would have low compression readings.

But if only the oil control ring is bad wouldn't I still get good compression on all the cylinders

Heres a question what differences would I see between bad valve seals and bad rings

If the oil rings are bad, the control rings would most probably be worn as well. However with so much oil on them there is a possibility the compression won't drop too much. Check the compression and note what they are. Anything belwo 150 psi would mean they are worn.

When installing the valve seals, did you test if they are a good fit with the valves?

Yes I did do that and they were a good fit as far as the pressure last time I did a pressure test on them they all were blowing in the high 200 range

I know the limit is between 135-180psi but any higher than that would mean what

Also throwing this in when I am doing the pressure test there must be oil already in the cylinders seeing that the last time I did the valve seals I took the head off to reseat them there was at least about two spoon fulls of oil in the cylinders

With so much oil in the cylinders, it can go higher. Guess the valve seals are the main culprit. Honestly I would not believe the piston rings can allow so much oil to get to the cylinders. You should be checking the valve guides as well.

How would I check the valve guides

You need to shake the valves aftter removing the springs to see if they have any excessive sideway movements. Actually you need to measure them but we are experienced and can mostly gauge by feel if the guides are worn.
