ive been burning my oil
 not entirly sure what it can be. just rebuilt my bottom end so rings are new and have prolly put 2000 on it since i put it in. i only see smoke on start up and upper rpms say 4,500 or so. some of my friends say my rings could have not set right, and i read if it were rings it would be more constant smoke? my head has never been touched, but has new seals. i have been running lean so i guess its possible that the seals could have worn. im not sure. ive done compression tests and got around 200 on all 4. i want to get a new head, but it is quite pricey to just take a chance with. any one got any suggestions as to what i can do?

Things is, in order to swap your head out (if you pay a mechanic), it's going to be pricey whether you swap in a new one or rebuild your own. They have to tear it down in order to take it off. I had my valve seals replaced 2 months ago and I went ahead and had it rebuilt. Just like new! On a side note, I also blew smoke at start up 'only' and never while driving. I wonder if the rings didn't seat correctly as well. Maybe try a leak down test first?
