On saturday morning when my dad and I went to go to the supermarket, he stayed outside while I backed out (stupid garage door opener;) ) Anyway, he said that when I started to accelerate, I was producing a nice puff of blue smoke, obviously oil. He said it was quite a little puff, though it was from a cold start and it only does it on initial start up. Is this going to be a major problem, or is this somewhat common with the early 4.0? Either way, I'm going to do some engine work this summer...I have to race my bro's 5.0 X...
yeah right;) ;)
Thanks
Greg
 






If it is only at start up then your most likely culprit is valve stems seals. If it does it while driving your looking at worn rings.
