Where is the promblem ??

When I start my 3.0L six, it blows big smoke cloud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) Yesterday I opened the right side valve cover. There came out about 3 liter oil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif) Before that the engine had been not running about 6 days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Is it so, that the oil pump let the oil drain from the tank to the oilpan ?? Is there somewhere some kind of back-pressure valve, or should the toleraces in the oil pump be so tight, that no oil can go through it?? Should the oil pump be fluid-tight when the engine doesnt run ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Or, is it normal that you find your oils in the engine after couple of days ?? How is it ?? Any experiences ?? Any advices ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Should I chance new valve steams ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Or pistons and cylinders... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hanged.gif)

A problem with no solution....but a "work around".

My motor drains most all of it's oil into the sump when it sits for a week or so.....thru the pump, by the main brgs....yada. Don't think it's supposed to do that, but there it is.

Some leaks by the rings and into the combustion chambers to boot.....smoke on start-up.

The "problem" is that if the tank is effectivly empty, there is no oil for the pump to pressurize the system.....not gud. I spin the motor over for 30 sec or so....sometimes longer( as I have carbs and it don't like cold starts) to get oil into the tank.

When I start it every day, "the problem" disappears.
