maybe you have a massive oil leak, you should do a compression test

blue smoke means burning oil. do a compression test and a leak down.

It could also possibly be your valve stem seals or the valve guides.

just take it back to the lab and have the mad scientist tear it down and replace the piston rings you just fried.
