RE: URQ- blue smoke

[Eaton Dave <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

we've had a lister with a wr with similar symptoms.  good compression
etc...
everyone was stumped for the cause, until the engine was removed and the
bores were found to be oval.  when the engine was cold, the leakage was
occurring.  once warmed up, the rings were sealing nicely. similar
mileage to yours...
