I have a 1941 Farmall H. When I start it up cold it will put out blue smoke as the engine warms up. It does not produce any visible smoke after it has been running for a few minutes. Oil consumption does not seem to be a problem at all as I can work it for hours and never have to add any oil. I do have a problem with the spark plugs being fouled and they must be cleaned or replaced way too often. Could this be related to the lead substitute I add to the fuel? Or is it a valve guide problem? I am thinking about taking it apart to replace all of the gaskets that are leaking and I am undecided whether I should pull the head and have the valves and valve guides repaired if necessary. Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You
