Default Blue smoke!
When i start my car after driving around town for a while (30-60 minutes) i sometimes get a poof of blue smoke,also when i get on it and bring it up to high rpms it smokes,oil pressure is fine at idle,while driving etc. Is this valves/valve guide seals? or is it bearings or something more serious? I have refreshed LS6 heads ready to put on if it is the seals or valves.
