2.3L: Ever replace your valve stem seals?

My '94 has been a trouper and good runner.

However, lately the 2.3L 4-cylinder smolkes blue for ~30 seconds or so when I first start it up after it sits for more than a couple of hours. It hasn't been noticeably using oil other than it does drip a tad; as a result I probably add 1/2 quart of oil every 2K miles.

So -- I'm thinking his valve stem seals may have finally gotten tired and could need replacing. Has anyone here replaced their valve stem seals in their 2.3L?

If so, was it a big job? Please tell me about your experience in doing it....

Thanks in Advance!
