Blue smoke? What blue smoke?

[rick 72 TR6 <rick@vir.com>]

Fellow TR6 owners:
My car smokes quite a bit under hard acceleration and consumes about a
liter/150miles.
Should I look at new valve seals or (gasp) rings? Both??? Or should I just
buy a couple of cases or 20w50 and STP. Also, a CLONK sound can be heard
when I accelerate. I installed new U-joints. That aint it... It seems to
come from the front. Any ideas?
 Thanks for  your precious advice in the last three months.
