Yes maybe ;
The black smoke is obviously fuel related and I did have some water & fungus issues _after_ I installed a full set of brandy new Monark injectors so I'll begin there , by pop testing them and seeing if any drool or if the nozzles might have blown out , it only takes _one_ water contamination in the fuel tank to do this .
The blue smoke coupled with high oil usage , OTOH , has me concerned as 350 ~ 400 miles per quart is way too high for a $5,000 engine rebuild with new cylinder sleeves etc.
We shall see , I will get it sorted out one way or t'other , rest assured of this .
