They said the engine is worn out. It will burn oil. Time for a rebuild.

Oricle is correct, but check the oil a little more often and check to see if blue smoke is coming from your exhaust. Check the bottom of your air filter box for presence of oil. That would indicate blow-by as well. Sounds like it's time, though.
