Ah! Why isn't it better

Ok well up to about a month ago I was having a good run with my car. Alais the law of averages has finally caught up

:

As some might nkow ive been having issues with my car blowing smoke really badly for about 1-2 minutes on start up.

EVERYONE has told me to replace the valve stem seals, so last night we did. But guess what, even after a good hour drive it id it again the next morning.

Im at a loss as to why its happening. Can anyone else come up with a reason why my car will blow smoke at start up only? It usually last for 1-2 mins (give or take 1 minute depending on its mood).

What should I be looking at now?

Oh and spark plugs that we put in 2 nights ago (with a grand total of 1.5 hours driving on them) are dirty already. The tips are good but around the "fat" bit they are black already.

My exhaust is REALLY black, maybe its just running rich for some reason? But the smoke is more blue than black. Car still runs as strong as ever.

Help.................
