>OK, first of all thank you for your opinions.  BUT, I need to pose
another question so I can get's me a little "edumaction."  Basically, I
have a question as to whether the blue smoke is being caused by a
worn/bad oil ring in number 2 or as most have said by worn valve guides.

Generally speaking, smoke under load and at speed is oil getting past the
rings.  As you noted, valve guides smoke more at high vacuum.

Sorry

Dave
