Blue smoke, what should I replace while i'm in there?

Ok, started up the Supra yesterday, and saw a nice puff of blue smoke come out the exhaust(just once and it didn't smoke at all under boost or any other time) so a quick search revealed that this will be the valve stem seals, so I will be removing the head to replace these and wondered what else I should uprate whilst I'm in there, I intend to go to a small single next year so I thought this would be a prime opportunity to replace some bits that will be beneficial for going single:).

Cheers

General service parts and gaskets you could also put in some stronger springs and valves for future proofing if you can afford it, stronger head bolts etc etc

ARP bolt kit? HG? Valves/valve springs.

If you're gonna have it off the road for a long while maybe crank pulley if it's not been done?

Good to check all oil seals i.e. front main, rear main, cams, oil pump (sump off / subframe drop job) water pump, aux belt tensioner to name a few I'd check are fine

Yeah, I saw a set of uprated springs and valves for £500(or thereabouts) from MVP, I didn't think that was too bad considering theres 32 of them.

Hadn't considered head bolts though, I think that's a must actually.

Is it advisable to get a thicker HG or is the stock one fine?

Also, cheers for reminding me about the crank pulley, I had that go on my last supe and is an arse of a job, but, as they say, prevention is cheaper than than the cure.

Just to add, I will only be starting off with one of PHRs small single kits, so no massive power gains on the horizon(yet).

marc, replace the twins with a big fat single you owe it to your car

you need the power to make up for the weight gein of the f1 size spoiler waaaayyyyyyyy

I first saw blue puffs of smoke,then larger puffs that turned into billows.Eventually my Supe reminded me of a Spitfire(or Zero) going down in a blaze of glory.Except it was into a money pit.One set of crap AET hybrids,followed by another set(not AET) which was repaired five times.Now single.Hallelujah.The moral being:blue smoke means get your wallet out(for a single).

Is it not white smoke that points towards the stem seals and blue smoke that points to the tubby seals?

Naa, cars will generally have a bit of white smoke when started from water/condensation in the exhaust and a sign of the tubby seals going is blue smoke when turbo number 2 kicks in.
