front and rear crank seal?

do you mean you pulled the transmission and did the rear main seal?

otherwise

1. are you leaking oil (think rear main seal or pan gasket)
2. are you blowing it out the tail pipe
3. check spark plug color
4. USE A HEAVIER OIL AT 10/30 MINIMUM
5. have someone follow this car while you accelerate it hard going to ascertain tail pipe blowing smoke
6. you might have worn out of spec valve guide seals tho at 130k it seems unlikely
