[V8] Alusil/Nikasil oil burner?

[cobram at juno.com]

I think you guys have hit the nail on the head.  I had smoke billowing
from under the air cleaner after a spirited run through the mountains of
West Virginia (triple digits, with full passenger/luggage load) when I
stopped at a rest area.  I thought the breather hoses were bad, got home,
they were fine, like new.  It NEVER happened again, I don't play hard
with VA#1 (that's what #2 is for), so conservative driving with minimal
oil slosh cures the symptom.
