When I start up my car in the morning there is a puff of blue smoke upon initial start. But, it goes away after a few seconds. I have 7K on a new engine and I run Redline synthetic engine oil. It this puff normal? It's been doing it since I had 2K on it. Opinions welcome…

 

normal

 

oh yeah, what ECU do you run?

 

stock ECU ...normally my boost goes up to about 12 lbs...max 13 lbs.

Pettit said it wouldnt go any higher... whats your thoughts?

 

the general consenses tends to believe its normal, mine does it if it makes you feel better

 

Is it a Large puff?? Just curious because since getting my motor rebuilt it will let off a good sized puff of bluish smoke then Immediately go away. Also, if you are running a premix like I am you have to consider that as well...especially non synthetics that don't have a clean burning properties. I tested out some marvel mystery oil in my lawnmower this past summer and it blew some major bluish smoke !! However, it mowed my lawn smooth and seemed to increase in hp haha !

 

I have about 6k on a rebuild...... and it likes to blow some smoke on startup every once in a while. I've hurd it is fine so I am not that worried but it looks like ****.

 

same here man.... it's for like 30 seconds -- that's it.
..

 

My rebuilt motor (and before rebuilding also but much worse) has done the same since forever and I have been assured it is normal.

 

that is true ...I am running pre mix from pettit..

 

what if you have bluish smoke upon startup of an original motor w/ 106k miles for about a minute? Not to good huh?

 

hell if you have startup @ 106K I think you're doing pretty damn good!
