Definitely oil burning, I have been around race motors most of my life and this unmistakably oil.

Motor has a bit over 3,400 miles on it, the first 2,500 of which I have little idea of what it saw. Runs great, over 500hp at the wheels on 92 pump gas on a roller drum dyno, not a single ping. But, even with a lumpy, rumpy, shaking all over idle, it has never produced any exhaust smoke at all. If you can get a mass flow injection system right, it's really nice, expensive, but nice.

Again, not a big problem...yet. I think I'll start with the plugs on the suspect side and see what they say after a long cruise and cut it off without idling back as much as possible. If nothings there, then I'll clean them up a bit and let it idle a short while and look again.

Hoping for an easy fix....aren't we all.

Thanks,
