Thanks! Not to worry -- the motor is actually "fine"... it was a cheap crate motor... and we did pull rod and main bearings and they were PERFECT and coated with oil even after all that. I'm pretty certain it's more like they failed (another epic fail) to seal the intake manifold properly. It only huffs blue smoke after a prolonged deceleration... which is telling me that the intake is then pulling oil in from the valley.
Maybe the "pros" will chime in here -- but that's my "official" diagnosis. It won't take me long to pop that off and do a proper job of it.
Actually - it's the brake lights that really get me to chuckling about the entire ordeal. It's like REALLY?! Such a simple inexpensive 1 minute fix.
I will repeat what I've said earlier though... the craftsmanship is superb. Really.
