I have a 01 ws6 trans am m6. it has victor jr. lt and gm hot cam alum fly wheel and dts rockwell 12bolt. The car stared smoking about 3000 miles after cam install. it has a few header leaks but nothing major. The smoke is white with a little blue. on cold cranks it blows out blue, but then clears up after a couple of min.

the blue at start sounds like valve seals

The car is not putting out any codes other then the ABS, but the car smokes only white on the top end. Does anybody else think is a fuel problem.

could the valves have not sealed when the cam was put in.

White smoke is coolant. Check head gasket.

Fuel causes black smoke.

You didnt mess with the valves when you swapped the cam did you?

i put in new valve springs, but use a compression tool that srewed into the spark plug hole to hold the valves up.

Ah i see, the seals are probably messed up then if youre blowing oil into the chamber.
