An old boy once told me that if it smokes going uphill, rings. If it smokes going downhill, valve seals.

I'm betting you have a bad valve seal or two, when you let of the gas it sucks some oil in and when you hit the gas it's burning it and expelling it.

I'd take it as a commentary on proper punctuation?

If that's the case, then it would 2,736,000 miles. ;-)

Alot of em will give a puff of smoke on startup when the valve stem seals are bad. I like the sealed power type seals if your heads are machined to accept them. Had problems with the O-ring type that come in a gasket sets.

Small block Mopars use umbrella type seals. The intakes fit tighter over the guide, but the exhausts just kinda float on the valvestem to sling off the excess.

Got photos of the type you are referring to?
