Car smokes at idle.....
Car smokes at idle.....
Topic says it all.....it don't smoke going down the road but let it idle for 30 to 40 sec's and hit the gas and a BIG puff of blue smoke comes out. I was told this is a sign of the valve seals going out. If so what type of seals should I use, Umbrella, O-Ring
or Postive Type seals. Give me your Ideas.
Thanks Guys,

Doesn't sound like valve seals to me.... valve seals usually show up with a puff of blue smoke on startup due to oil leaking past the worn seals down the valve stems and into the CC when the car has been sitting for a while, then burning off when the car is started.
