My 1975 with high B20 miles would do belch out blue oil smoke at high speed as soon as I let off the gas pedal. The plugs did not ever foul.

The valve seals were done for. Replacing the seals helped.

Yet easier on B20 than the OHC in Mr. White's 1980 (mighty and powerful) 244 .

Some nickel anti-seize on the plug threads and proper gap! Maybe time for new plugs also? 0.28 inch? I forget.

That'd be a lot of oil, though!
