Just start up or just start off? Start up is valve guide seals. Start off may be something different.

Sounds like rings. Allowing oil to blow past and burn. Most would reccommend engine rebuild or crate motor.

If it were rings it would smoke ALL the time.

Just pull the heads, take them to the machine shop and let them redo them
