well more than likely your valve stem seals have never been replaced. thats what it sounds like since its burning oil and blowing out smoke when you get on it hard and when you start it up when the seals are cold. but also could be worn rings.

yep either the valve seals are shot and/or the piston rings are done, but considering its an F22A, the pistons last a long time on those. I bet its the valves.

Either Rebuild, or do another F22A, or swap in an F22B1 or even an H22 :kermit:
