Hello.
Sorry for my bad english My 7afe have been smoking blue smoke for some time now.. and the smell of oil is present almost all time (USE ALOT OF OIL!)... It smokes never when idle, only when i give it some trotle. i have been thinking it may be the Valve seals, but it might be the piston rings aswell... what is your opinion? |

Ahh, see where I live they don't have emissions or even visual inspections. So I tend to forget others aren't as fortunate. Still, I stand by what I said earlier with doing the piston soak and flush then changing out to 20W-50. You can even throw in some stop burn if that kind of thing is even sold over there just to pass inspection. It really won't cost anything and it should make it to where it can be lived with easily, just have to check your oil every 1,000 miles.
