My old girl seems to be smoking a lot of oil. If I hold it on a bit of revs not under load it burns blue. And if I come of the throttle slightly it burns blue. And while cold. Is this piston rings?? Or valve guides maybe ?
Otherwise loving my new exhaust and cb radio
low oil pressure light comes on when at speed on the motorway now. And it burns blue when it's hot when coming off the throttle slightly. Can anyone help with this?

If it's not holding oil pressure at high revs, that suggests it's leaking oil from somewhere that's pressurised. As oil getting past valve stem seals and piston rings is just a 'passive' loss, it doesn't usually reduce oil pressure (unless you burn so much the pump isn't picking any up!). I'd be wondering if it was getting out of a bearing faster than it should - that sort of thing. Unfortunately it sounds to me like a job that will require some engine dismantling. Are you up for an engine overhaul?OK it got a lot worse this morning
