I know that blue smoke is most likely oil. But first start up it was smoking. I changed the oil again after I let the cars fans turn on. The blue smoke stopped I drove it on my driveway a couple times going back and fourth with no smoke. It died out on me and I let it sit for awhile and it started back up(I think it died out cause one of my wires in my fuel pump hotwire kit came loose). I let it sit for maybe a week in my garage again without starting and the blue smoke came back. Now it has a rough idle but starts up a lot better than before. I have Forged pistons in my bottom end which was professionally done. I also have brand new turbos/fuel pump/Injectors, and heads have 46k on them (So I was told). Compression was also 150-160. They may have been sitting for awhile before I bought them maybe? I heard it could be a stuck pcv valve or a valve seal? If you guys need anymore information let me know! Hopefully you guys can help thank you

Check PCV valve first and then check Valve stem seals.

Just checked it. It has a little rattle but from the videos I've heard when the valve is new its a lot louder

Close Thread Please replaced PCV and there is no smoke. A good amount of black smoke though
