Make sure your new valve springs match your cam requirements.

Valve springs, you have stock damped springs, the tight coils go down

B Links is slightly mistaken on this one:  Stock HD damped springs look like that, with variable coil spacing.

The close coils should be on the bottom to reduce un spring weight.  The idea is they have looser seat pressure, but gain open pressure as the spring compresses.

THis has nothing to do with your oil issue.

The valve guides and/or seals may be shot.

Also, if the rear drain back holes are not well draining down into th eblock, they may hold oil into the heads.

A decent refresh of the heads should be between $400 and $800.  Id fix them up stock.  You can get valves with 0.017 larger stems to fit cleaned up valve guides; much cheaper than installing new guides, and last longer too!

I have never seen valve springs like that, but thanks for the correction.   I was assuming that they were new/aftermarket springs and that they had seen a rough life.  :)

To the OP:  If your oil consumption didn't start until you removed/replaced the intake, then chances are that it's a gasket issue.  I don't know who the brainiac was that designed the FE intake ports/gaskets to be under oil, but they need to be smacked around a little bit.

My pistons have always been a little wet. But it got worse after swaping two-four barrel intake. I Will have them rebuild anyway.

Did you use cork end gaskets?
