any way to determine if smoking is from the rings or valve seals?
after it warms up most of the smoking quits, if that helps
blue smoke i think
Valve seals, if it was rings it would smoke even after being warmed up.

seals as cjm said.
rings- smoke all the time
seals- right at startup most and under hard accelerations all the time.
do a compression test and a leak down test if possible. that will tell you which are bad. low comp test rings, bad leak down test seals.
