Sure it could. Oil rings break with age. So do compression rings. You could
also have a bad intake or exhaust valve guide.
Your first step is to pull the plugs. One of them should be oil fouled.

I have an oil temp guage and it never showed anything above 220. And I heard
no pinging. Dan and I were talking and he said I smoked a little at engine
braking for years. Couldn't a ring just give it up over time?

Ahh, well that clarifies things. Have you pulled the plugs? If you have a
burnt piston or rings that would be causing this much smoke the plug will be
wet on that cylinder. If the timing was too far advanced resulting in pinging
or it overheated you'll have a hole in the piston or a chunk missing. If you
had a full flow on it, it should have caught *most* of the crap but once it
plugged up it would just let the oil through; garbage and all. I don't know
the config you have on your filter so I can't say if it's full flow or not.
You can always look on the bright side of things with it burning oil it
does keep the mosquito population down.

I have a remote filter, I don't know if that makes it a true full flow,
but this engine does have an absolute load of miles and age on it. When I am
accelerating all is well. When I back off the pedal I get billows of smoke. I
have been told that is indicative of a "burnt piston". It could be crap in the
oil, it could be timing too advanced and it may be a cracked ring due to age.
I still need to do a compression test and stuff before I tear into it too
much.
I love my 1914 without the reduction boxes. I like to go far distances. I
like to average 68 MPH.
If I have to split the case and make a new engine I will NOT make T@P .
Too much money and too much time. Like I said, of course the "correct" thing to
do is to split the case and do a complete re-build. But if I take off the jugs
and check the heads and clean as well as I can and put in new cylinders,
pistons, rings, and connector rod bearings, basically everything I can do
without splitting the case, won't that put Murray on the road for years?
YES, I say gal dern it!
But I still haven't gotten a solid price on machined 88s with pistons and
rings.
