[FONT=Arial]Please tell me it's not rings...something simple huh? I was just cruising along nicely and poof...choke smoke everywhere. Not overheated, good oil pressure but I sadly see oil in #1 and #2 cylinders and she spits oil and heavy smoke out her tail. Could it be anything but rings???Please...Oh yes...it's an M110

Sounds more like a head gasket than rings by the way you describe it. Check the coolant for oil, and the oil for coolant.

Do you have a vacuum assist pump mounted on the right side front of the head? How are the brakes? If the diaphragm goes bad it can puke oil. The vacuum line connects directly to the #1 intake plenum.

Easy check. Disconnect and plug the fitting where it connects to the intake. Start her up and let her run for a few minutes to see if the smoke goes away. Give it a couple of minutes to clear all the oil from the system. Cross your fingers. About $50 for a rebuild kit depending on the style.

Thanks for the reply. I have a repair manual and I seem to have done most tests. No water missing or oil in water...no water in oil. Does not overheat. No gas in oil. Still runs sweet with little miss when #1 starts fouling. Drove 5 miles and lost at least 1/2 Qt of oil. Compression test, after sitting four days shows all 150...after starting and running, #1 = 190, #2=160 and #3-6=150. Pulled plug on #1 and saw pool of oil on top of piston. Also oil in #2...3-6 dry. Did compression test again on #1 several times and it slowly went back down to 160 and oil pool was gone. She really pushes alot of oil...billows smoke and oil spits out exhaust and holes in both mufflers. Can't believe rings in one cylinder would blow that much oil, especially with 150 compression. (I should mention, my brother used the car for several months...high speed driving on regular gas.) Could it be oil breach in head gasket...is that possible? Pulled the valve cover...very clean inside except for small lump of gunk below #1 exhaust valve adjusting nut. Turned it over and all seemed to be working like it should...no wierd sounds. Bad valves? Timing? The manual mentions an oil return hose? Something simple and easy that's letting oil into #1 and 2 cylinders...right?

To Mike D...Yes I do and the brake light has been coming on when I break hard. This is what my friends and I have been thinking...something simple. Thanks...My fingers are crossed.

Vacuum assist pump...I think...know that's it. As soon as I disconnected the line to the intake manifold, I could see the oil. I plugged the hole, put the other end of the line in an oil can and started it up. After a few minutes, it was clear the pump was the problem. It was spitting oil out the end of the hose. No more billowing smoke...just remnants of oil burning out of the exhaust and mufflers that will probably last quite a while. Now to rebuild the pump...is it OK to drive her without the asist pump attached to the manifold or will I injure the rest of the Brake system? Thanks a million!!!

You won't harm the vacuum booster by-passing the vacuum assist. You will have decreased vacuum going to the booster. Run a vacuum line from the manifold fitting directly to the booster for a temporary emergency repair.

Don't drive the car any more than absolutely required as you are dependent on engine vacuum for the power assist and those M110's don't draw very much vacuum (hence the vacuum assist pump).

It's an easy, although messy, fix. Glad to hear you found the problem.
