Default Blue smoke when I give it gas

Hi, where do I start. Yanked this old buggy 150 helix of a farm buried in weeds complete wreck, any ways probably hasn't ran in a few years. Got it runnin but it blows blue smoke when I give it gas valves set at .005 lots of ticking in the valve cover wondering if I should do a big bore kit or should I go looking into the valves any insight would be appreciated thanks

sounds like blow-by. if it doesn't clear up, most likely thing is worn out bore. if that's the case, bbk it. if it only happens on start up and goes away, valve guide seals.

The 58.5 is a drop in kit anything larger you will need to bore the case. If the valves are set at .005 you should barely hear a ticking. I would inspect the head for as to why the valves are loud. Check that the timing chain is tight on cam sprocket. You could have a stretched chain or bad tentioner.

Should automatically, if not needs replacement. Most of the time it will be a stretched chain.

So ok now I got oil in exhaust pipe and in muffler took it on a short romp around the house came back and oil dripping off spring that holds the two together and inside the muffler too I know I'm burning oil from blow by but concerned if it's valve related or normal with bad piston/rings ???

You need to do a compression test.
