piston rings or stem seals...what milage is it at? also, have you got a decat, because if you have, then thats why...because mine has done 300miles and smokes, as there is no cat to stop any oil that gets into the exhaust system...

well its gonna put oit some oil at high revs then. there will be some getting past the rings at that rev rate, so unless its a huge amount, its okay.

try checking the valve steals mate if not that your looking at the block - scored piston or a burnt out ring
