As the title says, after a minute or 2 the pootrol starting up it decides to start blowing black/dark blue smoke, any one else had this? It goes away after straight away when driving aswell. It's a 2001 Gu 3ltr by the way.

re
its prob ur turbbo seal i may be wrong but my 2 cents
gq patrol / mavrick bullbar spotties no mud flaps need money
The seal on the neck of every valve, they do wear but are more prone to hardening through age. They then weep oil down through the guides and will pool in the intake port. While running, the amount is neglible, but after sitting for a while, enough can seep through to produce smoke on start up.
Here's a pic of one (different engine) taken with the rocker cover off.

Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.
Thanks for that, cleared it up for me. Is it a big job to get done?BadMav wrote:The seal on the neck of every valve, they do wear but are more prone to hardening through age.

Yeah but it can be done in a few hours if you know waht you're doing and have the right tools. Screwing an air fitting into the spark plug hole and keeping air pressure will stop the valves falling in, then you need a spring compressor to compress the valve springs and remove the collets. The seal themselves are easy, they just slip on. Unless you're really confident and have the tools, best to leave it to the mechanic.
