    valve stem seals. Do this test, accelerate in the car, then let off. let it coast down. coast down for like 2500-3000 rpms, then blip the throttle, if you see smoke, its valve stem seals/PCV.

    if it smokes on acceleration its Piston rings.

    What color is the smoke,does it smell like oil?

    the smoke i think was mostly white and it smelled like oil just for less than 15seconds, as soon as i got home i reved to 5000rpm to see if anything would happen but nothing happen , but ill try that test tomorrow and see what happens,........Thanks .....Peace
