QUOTE yeah check the oil and see if it is a milky brownish color, if it is then your headgasket it probably blown Right ignore that matey. C'mon lads if your HeadGasket (HG) is blown and that is happening then your car will not smoke. It will only smoke if coolant is getting into the combustion chamber. It will do this through a split between the water jacket and the cylinder. If it is only when you first start your car then ignore it - condensation QUOTE Do you have a gutted cat, if you do that is why, mine does the same thing but once it is started it clears up .well said, mine smokes a treat when first started now ive de catted If it continues when warm then you may have a prob.... HG - Test for exhaust gases in coolant.... Valve stem seals - normally when on slowing down in gear and then accelerating again but this is blue smoke normally Piston rings - mainly blue smoke all the time and loss of power but symtoms of valve stem seals too test compressions of each cylinder too! Im dreading any smoke from my gt four when it eventually comes
