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? |

If your valve stem seals were leaking it would puff out a cloud of smoke when you first start it, after it's been sitting for several hours or more. Piston rings leak while the engine is running.
Perform a cylinder leakdown test, all you need is a compression tester, disconnect the gauge from the hose and attach the hose to an air compressor hose. |
