Scott---Other ideas, you asked. OK, if your carb dashpots leak oil, this could
be one cause of the blue smoke at startup. Not as likely a cause as the worn
valve guides that you suspect.

Subject: [6pack] Blue Smoke on Startup
Hey all,
The 6 has started this annoying habit of making a nice sized belch of blue
smoke right as I start it up.
It only happens on startup and only if I have let the car sit for more than
a few minutes.
My guess is that I've got oil running down the valve stems around loose
valve guides.
Any other ideas?
