Mine ran absolutely great and the smoke was not bad at all but it did what yours is doing. Sounded good, plenty of pep but oil was gone. Opened it up and it was WORN out. New rings and valves/guides and I loose maybe a 1/2 qt in 1000 miles. Not a complete rebuild but I have an engine I'm getting ready to build as a replacement. This was just to get me by and I did all of it with engine in car.
