Re: Blue smoke (shortyz)

dont go and change a part on a whim, check everything then diagnose what it is. It could be a few things. If the smoke is blue, you are definitely burning oil tho. Check everything.

Re: Blue smoke (91_hatch_si)

Run a compression or leak down test. That will tell you what the problem is. It's usually not worth fixing it at this stage as you would have to change hundred more parts at the same time. Just do a swap.
