My 74' TR6 consumes one quart of oil every 200 miles. My compression ranges
from 165 to 180 per cylinder.  Does this indicate that my valve guides are
worn. When I first crank the engine after it has been sitting over night the
engine does not smoke. However, when I accelerate from a stop I notice some
fumes in my rear view mirror. Thanks.
