Can anyone take a guess at this from their chair?
My 3.2 does not really smoke at start up. But after a few minutes (less than 5) it starts to smoke. It then smokes at idle but not under acceleration or upon decceleration (at least not that I can see). It's blue smoke. Then, when the oil level gauge starts moving and the temp gauge starts moving, it stops smoking. My theory is that it stops smoking when the thermostat opens. I thought maybe valves, but it does not smoke when it starts. It only smokes after a few minutes. Any ideas? It really only started this around the time I redlined it over and over again at the SP DE trying to stay ahead of Pari Maybe a sticky ring? Should I start planning a winter tear down?
