If that was mine I'd just run it. How much oil does it consume? It doesn't look bad at all in the video. Not bad enough to waste a ton of money simply to fix it. If you want more performance and have some mods that just happen to include fixing it, then go right ahead. I had a set of freshly rebuilt heads that smoked worse than that after 5k miles of being on the road. I burned like a quart of oil every 2,500-3,000 miles. I eventually fixed it by swapping on some aluminum heads.

Stop worrying and go do brodies, continue on with the tuning because you will pick up some power. Rebuild heads for a little oil consumption? Nah, not worth it. If you're eating a ton of oil, then it is probably worth it.

I wish mine only smoked that much... but 180k piston rings on a 305 don't really hold the oil back revving to 6k. lol
