[Spridgets] Won't Idle

Blue smoke: Rings take time to seat in; maybe google the subject for a quick
read.

An intermittent problem (dying at idle) can be the worst to trouble shoot;
be mentally ready. Bill in Oregon

     As I said, the next day the car ran normal. Go figure.  The vacuum
advance line was still intact.  Everything is mounted tightly.  You tell me
why it decided to do this just one time.       My only other concern is
constant blue smoke from the tail pipe on a relatively new engine.  Have to
find out if is rings or valve guide seals.  Gerard built the short block and
knowing his meticulous building skill, I am leaning towards the valve
seals/guides.  

     Why couldn't I be into 240 Z cars or Porsche instead of these quirky
loveable Brit cars?
