That’s my thinking. Too expensive so I’ll just keep adding oil. It’s a mfg defect on that engine. I keep calling and bugging Toyota about it. They actually just contacted me about fixing the paint on the 2012. This is a kids car, so it gets driven by kids. It’s a known defect on the valve seals and/or rings but Toyota won’t do anything about it for this year model.

Did you call the dealership or Toyota itself?
Honda local here wanted to dick around with paint issues after my wife's family had all Hondas. I called their corporate people and they patched me into a person in Houston who I talked to and explained everything.
They ended up covering the labor as long as I bought the paint.

If you know that's the problem, you don't need a rebuild. You just need the head reworked or a new head. FAR cheaper than a full rebuild. Can usually be done without pulling the engine so it's much less labor.
Either way, I would do some Google machine work for home fixes. Sometimes you can just change oil type and improve the situation.
