F.W.I.W. My first car (1967 Cortina GT) Had the same symptoms and removal of
the head
revealed a 1/4 inch wide grove worn vertically in cyl. wall. I guessed it was a
broken ring, but did not have the
tools, space $ or time to take it apart further. Eventually the city had my
beloved money pit towed away. :(
First car. I loved that thing, even though it left a trail of broken parts
where ever it went. Taught me the basics of
automotive mechanics just keeping it running.

Still so many cars, so little parking

<<<Allright, this is where I am now...(snip)
I went driving and continued to see the original problem of billows of blue
smoke upon harder acceleration after strong suction. (snip)
Next step is work on the rings. (snip)
