I have been watching this thread to see all the input. I have to agree with Don and Jonathan. Improper skirt clearances, not enough ring gap or dirt. Or a combination of that with maybe another problem or two.

A note on the blue smoke and oil smell. Once a muffler get saturated with oil, it can take hours to burn all the oil out and clean up smoke and smell. So when you rebuild your motor again, it may still smell like and look like it's burning oil for some time. Don't use that as an immediate indicator as to oil consumption.
