Smoking 273, opinions?

Smoking when you are hard in the throttle and the intake vacuum is low is not normally caused by intake leaks. The general symptoms of smoking out the pipes at high RPM's and hard throttle indicate ring problems. OP, I assume this occurs with sustained hard throttle (not just smoking when you first put the hammer down and then it clears up)? Who knows if the hone was right, the bore was right, if the ring gaps were right, if the ring side clearances were right, etc....

Yessir that's the problem. Smoke blows until I lift the throttle and then it goes away, I fear its the rings in those 2 holes, but with as much problems as I've had with gaskets on this thing I was holding out hope for cheap and simple and not a tear down.
