My vehicle was smoking and then I replaced new rings and bearing plus valve stem seals, but the blue smoke still coming out.

Hi,

There are a few more causes of oil burning. Here is a guide that walks through them:

After the rings and valve seals the most likely cause is oil overfilled and the crankshaft is splashing it up on the cylinder walls and it burns off.

Let me know what you think and we can go from there. Thanks
