Default Bellowing smoke

What would cause a engine to bellow out blue smoke like mad at higher rpms? Rings going or exhaust ports?

I took my plugs out and holes 1, 2, and 4 looked find but #3 had major oil deposits on it. So its probably a ring or valve seal.

check your valve cover gasket and spark plug grommets, usually when there is oil on the plug its the grommets, start with that and see what happens, thats the easiest to start with
