hello, it sounds as though you have excessive blow by past the piston rings and the only way youll fix it is to tear the motor down and inspect everything for wear such as the pistons and cylinder walls and if they check out then replace the rings.

the motor was rebuilt about 25,000miles ago but it has gotten hot once when the head gasket went out of it

Accepted Answer

if thats the case, then id start by checking compression if its low, then add a couple drops of oil to the cylinder and see if the compression increases if it does then you know its a problem with the rings.
