Default 1.8 duratech excessive oil consumption

The work donkey has started drinking oil like a tramp drinks cider!

It smokes a bit when i put foot down. Its done 148k, has a misfire at low revs.

Where do i start with it? Valve stems?

they're bad for doing rings,
if its using a lot of oil it'll prob need a rebuild
stem seals aren't usualy that heavy on oil, just a few puffs now and again
