Besides smoking like crazy once it reaches full operating temp it runs ok...
No coolant leaks or anything.
So what's the least I have to buy to get it to stop burning oil?
Do I really need a full gasket set?
I'm heading to college in AZ in 2 weeks and can do a proper rebuild once I'm down there but have to fix the oil leak first! In a very short amount of time! lol
Thanks,

You can run 20w-50 and it will leak less (assuming you are running lighter oil) but it isn't a fix by any means and it will still smoke.
There really isn't much you can do besides rebuilding the motor.
