We have a 1965 Austin-Healey replica that is loads of fun. We had it painted this past winter and the new color makes it look great. There are always 2-3 people standing around and looking at it when at car shows.

The engine uses about 1 quart of oil it when we drive about 120 miles 55 mph and above. Oil pressure is about 80 lbs when cold and goes to about 60 lbs when warm. When coming to a stop oil pressure drops to about 10 lbs when warm.

I noticed the other day after driving home (about 35 miles) and engine was warm, I stopped to pick up a few groceries. When starting up the car it shot blue smoke out of both pipes. I had the cylinder pressure checked a couple years ago and they were about 125 PSI. Does this indicate valve seals, valve seats or rings need replacing?

What would a rough estimate be for re-bore, pistons, rings and heads be?
Thank you for your feedback.
