My engine makes blue smoke for about 30 seconds when I start it up.
It's not immediate, more like within the first minute or two of a cold start.
Based on my research I'm thinking it could be the valve seals.
Trying to get the car ready to do some longer trips.
We did a 45 minute drive last night, and it went mostly great.
It did develop a low rpm miss getting off the freeway at the end.
When I started it this morning it still had the miss, but it cleared itself up after driving around the block a few times.
Then made another 45 minute trip back home.
I plan to check the condition of the spark plugs tomorrow morning.
If I take the head off and have a machine shop do the valve seals, what else should I have them do besides a valve job to increase performance/durability?
