If it IS the rings, go ahead and try whatever engine restore stuff, can't hurt.

But it sounds like valve seals, if the smoking goes away after a little bit.

Oil smoke, right?

Sounds like valve seals. Keep running it. Who cares.

if it was the valve seals wouldnt that cause compression loss? mybe i can find some kinda additive to put in the old beast...lol its just gotta make it the rest of the season then she's getting a fresh motor put in it

Probably not bad enough to make a big difference. I ran with leaky valve seals in my old Celica for over 100k miles with no ill effects other than smoke on startup and burning a small amount of oil. Still ran just as strong as ever.
