Could be the rings if it does it while driving. If it's more on startup I would suspect valve seals/worn valve guide as the problem. Can you give a little more detailed description of when/how it smokes the most?

i had a detonation problem which was never fixed in my car...eventually it started to burn oil bad as you say. im not sure if the rings took a ****, or if i blew a hole in a poston or something....anyway, it ran like crap...but still had about 80-85% of its power...
