I am curious how much smoke is acceptable? I am sure that is a broad question. I have this CUV scout I have been working on more with the drive train and all fluid changes and valves, belt, rollers etc. Runs great but smokes a little when it's starting off or under the most load or going uphill. Had it a month and have not added any oil. Once it's going does not really smoke and it's blue smoke. I am sure it's not going away and wonder if I should be pro active and replace rings or just drive it and see what happens?
Also, if replacing rings, does the cylinder need to be "honed" or something or can you just replace rings or piston or both?
