are you sure it's smoke and not moisture? what color is the smoke? white=coolant. blue=oil.

blue .only smokes in the a.m. just odd if I bring idle up .til 180 deg no smoke .800 miles on fresh engine .rest of day fine. smokes only if it sits for more than 4-5 hrs

rings expand with heat. what does your PCV system look like?

Almost sounds like valve seals.
After sitting awhile oil getting past valves.
-6 is a large oil feed line. But shouldn't be the problem.

As mentioned, likely valve seals.

Synthetic or conventional motor oil?
