I have noticed for quite some time now that when i start my car a good amount of smoke comes from the tail pipe. I know my rings are probably going bad and im really not looking forward to paying 500+ to get it fixed. Has anyone else had this problem and gotten the ring job to fix it??? Is there something cheaper i should try first to fix the problem? any feedback would be much appreciated! thanks

I have the same problem. It depends on what color the smoke is...
White/Smoke color: In summer weather, when it's more humid and moist, moisture will build up in your exhaust and get burned off as soon as your engine starts and will cause a lot of white/hazy smoke. Blue: Exactly what he said. And no you don't have to be skilled to do it without taking the head off. You need to shove an air hose coming from an air compressor into one of each valves which will cause the opposite valve to stay up so you can replace the valve guides. While your at it, might as well replace the valve seals too. They're cheap parts, and it's an easy fix. ***EDIT*** Also, the puff of blue smoke is normal like he said. It's not even that big of a problem. When you start fouling out spark plugs left and right then you can be worried.
