Any oil addative help with burning oil (already premxing)

Hey guys. I'm still getting some blue smoke on startup (startup +2-3 mins only). I used a radiator seal addative, and I have much less smoke on startup now. But what is smoking is defiantely blue now, instead of whiteish... very light blue. Anyhow... is there any additive that might help reseal the oil seals w/o a rebuild? I've already gone premix and the omp is completely blocked off.


Any ideas? Thanks

No there is nothing. A heavier oil will help, but you will not fix the poblem until you rebuild.

You didn't put the radiator additive in the oil system did you?

That rad additive is in the process of clogging every cooling passage in the engine and rad. If I were you, I would immediately drain and flush the system, fill with coolant, go for a drive, then repeat until all that crap is gone.

Small amounts of smoke on startup is normally for a mid-of-life rotary. Unless you are constantly billowing oil smoke, I wouldn't worry about it.
