[FWDLK] High mileage 361 smokes at startup

[Playaz Klubb <playazklubb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All -

I have a high mileage (160,000+mi) 361, that smokes at startup when sitting
for a few weeks. Once hot, all is fine. It smells like oil smoke, black-ish.
I know many of you out there must see this...

Engine is still strong, no rebuild in my near future...

Can I prevent this initial smoking?

* Heavier engine oil? I live in So Cal where the temperature is never below
50 during the day, I use 10w40/30 now.

* Better grade gas/lead additive? For valves?

* Periodic Mystery-oil/Dextron usage in the block?

* Any other home-grown idea/solution?

Thanks, in advance, for any information,
- Joe
