I took the truck on a short drive today (10 miles total) to fill it with fuel for winter storage.

When I got home I pulled the fuel pump fuse to run the carburetor dry for winter storage but noted that if I goosed the throttle I had obvious blue smoke.

I think I am doomed to pulling the engine over the winter to tear it down and see what I can determine. I recently bought a cheap bore scope so I may see if I can determine anything before pulling the trigger on the engine pull, but it seems like I'm wishing rather than being realistic. I will need to do some planning regarding getting the front clip pulled and stored while I do the engine work as I have storage space but it's not all adjacent so moving large things around can be tricky,
