mazda 87 fc help

hi all

I just got a old fc non turbo from a friend. It has over 140ks of miles on it, but were going to restore it back to condition. The engine seems fine until you bring the rpm to 5-6ks it shoots out ALOT of blue smoke from the exhausts. It still idles and runs fine, just shoots out a ton of smoke when the rpm is brought out. Any ideas that may be the problem. well heres some pics anyways.
