Old sure makes things work!! Listen to him. I think that if there is a ridge in the engine .05 or more deep at the top of the ring groove, you will use oil. If it is less than that (and mine because I am a mechanic) I would just ridge ream, hone and replace the piston rings. If the oil use is continuous when running under load, and it has many hours, It is probably in need of a Kit with sleeves and pistons. A set of stuck rings will also produce oil consumption. Putting 1/8 cup of ATF in each cylinder and letting it sit for 2 weeks with the plugs back in, then removing them and cranking it over to blow out any excess oil, then starting and running it for several hours under a load might free them if they are going to free up. If they don't do the ring job. Committing to a ring only repair with no more information than we have can be unsuccessful. If the smoke is prominent when idling around, or going down hill when coasting, or only on start up, I would put valve seals in it without removing the head and see what happens (cheap and easy). Jim
