When my car is at idle there is blue smoke coming from the exhaust even when the car is warmed up. I only have 4 leading spark plugs instead of 2 leading 2 trailing plugs but in the process of gettin all new ones. Could the 4 plugs be the problem or is it something else?

Sounds like you have some problems here buddy. I believe it is oil that burns blue. Oil seals=going or gone.

BlackRocket

the guy i bought the car off said he had just gotten the motor rebuilt and ported w/ new apex seals.

Yeah, I'd be saying the same thing... blue smoke bad... indicating worn out oil seals.

what is the compression on the motor???

BlackRocket

it only does it at idle. when i'm driving normallyeven running hard there is no smoke at all.

BlackRocket

i haven't checked the compression on it. i thought you needed a special tool from madza to check the compression on a RX.
