Burning oil - 5/27/2008 6:14:57 PM

I have a 94 xj6. When I start the car I get a nice cloud of smoke from the tail pipe. It quits smoking almost right away. I am starting to go through more oil and I would like to fix it. I think it is probably valve seals. I would not have a problem changing valve seals on a normal car, but I do not have alot of experience on jags. Are valve seals the problem and how intense are they to change? Can I get to them by removing the cams without pulling the head? The car is in great shape other than this. Any help is apprecieated.
Thanks Nick
