yes, on the easy side I am (was) thinking valve seals.

On the not so easy side I am thinking a ring job.

Had it out and put 50 miles on it, while it puffed blue smoke out the passenger sidepipe, the drivers sidepipe was clean as could be.

Forgot to check if the valve covers were baffled, so the K&N push in filters could be losing oil through splash action (it does show on the rear of the valve cover on the passenger side, drivers side shows a little, but not as much).

Only other thought I had was that the engine builder did not put any oil restrictors in the heads......


We'll find out in a few weeks when I have time to dive into it..
