Hello.
Sorry for my bad english  My 7afe have been smoking blue smoke for some time now.. and the smell of oil is present almost all time (USE ALOT OF OIL!)... It smokes never when idle, only when i give it some trotle. i have been thinking it may be the Valve seals, but it might be the piston rings aswell... what is your opinion? |

The 7A is NOTORIOUS for burning oil due to stuck rings. Piston soak it and run a flush to free them up as much as possible and then start using 20W-50. Burning oil doesn't hurt anything, and if you can get it to where it doesn't have visible smoke and you only have to replace a quart every 1,000 miles then who cares.
