oil in intake
Found some oil in the intake when I removed the air box.... does this mean it's not bad rings that are causing smoke at high rpm? the oil has blackened everything past th throttle valve...

Re: oil in intake
first thing, check your PCV, when was last time you've replaced it.

Re: oil in intake
it looks like thats where it was coming from ... I broke the old one when I accidentally leaned on it loosening a tranny bolt so I cant check if the valve was bad but i got a new one hopefully thats where the smoke was coming from and not the rings..... I was burning a quart of oil every three weeks or so, with no drips under the car.
