I had a similar experience with my 86 Carrera, high oil consumption and fouling plugs. But the problem wasn't the valve guides, it was the rich mixture it was running.
Somehow rich mixtures, smoking and high oil consumption seem very closely related because since I had my mixture set properly, I no longer get the familiar puff on start up, oil consumption went way down and my plugs no longer foul while my performance went up.
I even overfilled my oil tank by mistake one time expecting it to smoke like crazy as it would do in the past only to have it run normally without any smoke as I cruised down the highway with my oil level gauge pegged.
Regards,
Joe Garcia
