Default blue smoke from a Perkins 4-108

We're taking a look at a sailboat with this engine. Upon start up, there's a
fair amount of blue smoke, which disappears after the engine gets a little
warm. Also noticed it when you give it fairly high revvs in neutral. I'm
thinking value guides or rings? What do you think about that and the cost of
repair. It's got about 3200 hours on it, and I don't see any obvious leaks.
