About once a week i have to add about a half quart of oil. it doesnt show signs of leaking anywhere on the outside of the engine. it occasionally will have white smoke out the exhaust but i think the engine could need new rings. What do you guys think is causing it?
 
Hi, there are a couple things to consider. If it smokes all the time I would assume it's the rings. If it smokes only on startup or while cornering etc I would assume it's the valve guides or valve seals.
