Black or blue?
I recall reading somewhere about a VH (of all cars) that had this problem with regard to blue smoke on startup. Something to do with oil + EDIT VALVE STEM SEALS /EDIT, with the oil not having drained for some reason, but as soon as it was circulating alright the smoke went away. Doesn't make much sense I suppose. (thanks nEb, valve stem seals were what I was thinking of, not the rings as originally stated) Last edited by mcflux; 02-09-2005 at 10:54 AM. |

If it is blue smoke then my guess would be valve stem seals are gone
