First thing to check, is the PCV system. |

Is the smoke blue-ish? It might be the rings. Check the PCV valve and breather first as Charlie mentions. I would pull the valve cover and see if the valve stem seals are intact. If the valve stem seals are gone it will burn oil. If the exhaust guides are bad you can siphon oil past them. If the oil rings are plugged up you might be able to use Kreen to get them freed up and working. http://kanolabs.com/engCle.html If the smoke is black it's too much fuel. What do the spark plugs look like? |
