<VV> ring problem?

[sgang54 at aol.com]

Stephen,
I had a similar problem with my Corsa convertible which had been in storage for several years. A tip fom Bob Helt suggested that a cooling problem was causing a cylinder to go out of round. Sure enough when I removed the top shroud, I found a mouse nest in the left cylinder bank. I removed it and the smoke went away.

I have a 1966/140 I have been noticing when I am at operating temperature I have 
blue smoke out of the drivers side exhaust. The car has sat for many years 
before I got the car. I am thinking a?stuck rings or ring.?I am thinking there 
is no quick fix to this problem but would like to see if anyone has any 
other?idea what?may be causing this and how to fix this problem. Thanks Steve 
Till
