MarcusEJ Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Afternoon gents, haven't been on here for a while so hope everyone is doing well. A tad curious for some knowledge as to why on a cold start my supra is letting out blue smoke but when completely warm on traveling no sign of the blue smoke. Any advice would be much appreciated gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Your valve stem seals are worn. Common problem which is fixed by replacing the seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 As above, steam seals. There is a guide on how to change them somewhere I believe. If your going it yourself you'll need a good Torque Wrench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Could it be the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusEJ Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just took it to a jap specialist and on just the vision of the smoke alone he identified it as the seals. what kind of price should I be looking at for repair? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Budget £500 if you can find someone to do it with the head on… It's a long and torturous process that takes all day and will ruin your back.

Chris Wilson Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Bear in mind if the age / mileage is enough to show valve stem oil seal leakage there's every chance the valve guides themselves, especially the exhaust valve guides, are badly worn, too. Just replacing the stem seals is only a short term fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
