Burning oil bad after sitting for a month?? Car has been just sitting for the last month and got it out yesterday to take back to have the tune fixed on it and when I started it up it had blue smoke for a little while. Seemed to go away after driving but hard to tell. It wasn't noticeable if it was. Is this a sign of the rockers bolts not having sealer on them or valve seals. Thanks for the input guys. Motor only has 1300 miles on it. Still dealing with the oil consumption issue. Might have to give TSP a call again.

If it was sitting for a good bit and really only smoked on start up I wouldnt be worried about anything. You probably just had a good build up of oil in the chamber from sitting. If its smoking every time you get on it then Id then be more conserned with maybe the rings not sitting right or a bad valve seal etc.

I thought you had oil burning problems from the begining? The rocker bolt passages on the LS7 heads do not go all the way through and are closed off. I'm not sure on the L92 heads though. Anybody know this answer? Could be part of your problem but I suspect something else amiss. Traver

I have had oil consumption issues from the beginning but never saw it through the tailpipes like the other day. Thought it was the catch can set up we had on it.
