seems a bit harsh to go and get a rebuild, thought all cossies give out the odd bit of blue smoke.could be something or nothing. why not give it to a propper tuner like msd to have a look at it as ggr is old technology now, maybe just try an upto date chip, tune up??? worth a try.

Even freshly built cosworth engines use oil, as long as its not excessive an engine re-build is probably not needed.
