On a nice long staightaway, I wound up to about 4500 rpm in third gear,
then thought I saw a cop and let off the throttle.  I huge bluish cloud
followed me as I decellerated.  I know this means burning oil, but is it
valve guides or rings?  There isn't much smoke duing acceleration.
Thanks for any help.
