Built motor question - after cold start quick revs/blue tint exhaust...
Engine is 12.25:1 compression y8 fully built w/crower stage3 cam etc. etc.
Anyway a few days back it was probably 30-40deg out i had my bro start my car cold, there was no puff of blue but when i had him give it a few quick shots to 3k i could see a slight blue tint to exhaust.
After 2 minutes (i'm guessing once engine warmed up some? rings expanded?) it wouldn't do it anymore when revving and was normal.
Is this normal for cars on cold start? or on a high compression build? It was only a slight tint...
A compression test yeilded 240 across +/- 5psi
Please only post if you have some real insight or know if this is normal...
Thanks guys,
Vince
