I get alot of blue smoke during warm up, it's like a switch at about 3500 under low to medium throttle. it's usually when the idle is still at 2k, and the smoke stops after a mile or so. Is this just cold start enrichment or should I worry.

blue smoke is oil not fuel.... your oil control rings are probably going out and leaking oil when it sits.

Ya thats kinda what i though, but I like to live in denial, sounds like a teardown to me, any thing I can do

to prolong there life?

Not really prolonging life, but a little heavier oil might help. Depending on your climate of course and what weight your running presently.



I really wouldn't worry about it too much if it's only on cold starts. My engine is very strong and it does it (isn't right now but I think it may have something to do with the colder weather). Mine was only a little smoke when you first fired it up though. Unless you're consuming an unreasonable amount of oil I wouldn't be concerned at all.

well, i have the same problem with my FD, according to john d........ my turbo's are goin, and spitting oil into the intercooler, and it sits there and accumulate........ now when you start the car it just burns that oil until you burn whatever is sittin there. then it stops

i get a lil blue smoke when i start my car but after like a couple of second it goes away. my car passed emissions it was like way below the nyc state limits so i was mad happpy but hopefully by the end of this year non of that wil be true. i vant to straight pipe my 87 gxl and put some rb headers and rb cat back

I guess for the meantime I'll just consider it extra lubrication when it's cold, mine also passed emissions here in oregon, hey, do they use emission dynos any where else beside here.
