Smoking For those who dont know, i rolled my 2000 z28 about 1 month ago. I went to start it up in the garage again and when it starts and idles it wont smoke at all. When i rev it up a little bit it starts to puff out some blue smoke. I didnt think rolling it could cause it to blow a head gasket but im not sure. Any ideas on what it could be? Also, just incase it comes down to it, how much would it cost to have a shop do a basic rebuild of a ls1?

i was thinking maybe some oil got stuck in one of the valves from the roll over. Some oil came out the filler neck when it was upside down so i think thats what happened. Im going to change fluids and let it run for an hour or so and try to burn whats in the valve out

i changed the oil and let the car run for about 20 minutes but it kept smoking. it calmed down a bit more but still smokes heavily when free reving. any suggestions on what could be the problem? I might have the car towed to a shop if the smoke doesnt go away by saturday.
