oil burn baby

I have a 92 GS (b18a) with 170K, I bought the car about 10K ago. I don’t know how well the car was maintained before me, but I baby it in the maintence end. I just started noticing the damn thing puffs blue smoke on hot or cold starts for a couple seconds, and also when I’m running really hard oh say around the redline it starts to smoke also. I think I used one quart between my 3K oil change last time around. I think I’m going to throw some valve stem seals in the thing before I go tearing the engine down to re-ring it. Has anybody experianced this in their teg???

Thanks Alot

blue smoke is bad…

The piston rings are definately shot and needs replacement…
Unforunately I didn’t get mine replaced and 2 pistons lost compression due to broken rings… so I just dropped in a used motor with lower mileage.
