Default need help, blowing blue smoke

My brother has a 1991 Accord LX. The engine is a 2.2 16valve non vtec. He was blowing a ton of smoke out the back, so we replaced the head gasket.

It runs much better but it still smokes, and its blue smoke. I don't know alot about Hondas, but is there a air/fuel screw or idle mixture screw that I can tune. If not what can I do, keep in mind thing car is bone stock with 200,000 miles on it.

Timing is perfect, and the oxygen senor may be a little old. I'm stumped. I'm used to working on Volkswagens. Many thanks indeed!

Agree with rings. If you can, take a peak at the intake manifold and see if you can see any oil blow back.

When the head was off, I looked at the intake manifold but there was just the usual build up of gunk and what not, no oil.

Is there a way I can test the oxygen sensor to make sure its good. And would a compression test show bad rings?
