Blue smoke once at operating temp
Blue smoke once at operating temp The car a little while after my cam swap started burning oil. I did a compression test and that checked out good. I had someone tell me that if the car only burns oil when it's warm it could be an exhaust valve guide leaking oil and once the engine is warm and exhaust gets hot it will appear that it's burning oil. He said to check the plugs as well and if there's no oil deposits then that's more than likely what it is. Any thoughts on this guys, I mean it does make sense that it would be this. Any help is much appreciated.

Is it consistent plumes of blue smoke or the occasional puff? I mean, how much smoke are we talking? Has it done it ever since you did the cam job? Meaning, it started that day?

It's pretty consistant especially if I let it idle for a good while it seems. As for the PVC I have a good catch can on it and it's driver side tail pipe only (true duals)

Sounds like valve seals to me as well. Possibly got torn or damaged on install, maybe not seated properly
Cheap enough to due just kinda labor intensive. You can do them in the car.
