Worn valve guides will cause smoking and not effect compression. High rpm
will result in more oil in the top of the engine, and more oil around the
guides.

Subject: Blue smoke and good compression
Those two things don't usually go together so I was wondering if there
is a "typical" reason why an engine with good and consistent compression
(~145) would blow blue smoke at the upper rpms? It would seem to me
that if I've got a bad oil ring, in #2 cylinder, then I would have other
issues as well that would lead to bad compression. But that's not the
case. Makes me wonder what else I'll find when the engine comes apart.
