valve guide rubbers are a doddle to do...own a cortina or capri and you have to do them about evry 6 months!!
usually harden over time and so dont seal as they are supposed to..

--- Quote from: "Steel" ---If the engine only blows out blue smoke on start up, it is probably the valve stem oil seals that are leaking.  This means when the engine isn't running, the oil in the head can drain down through the valves and into the cylinders.  When you start up, this oil gets burnt and gives you the blue smoke out of the exhaust.

If it is the valve stem oil seals, these can be replaced as they do wear and (I think) crack with lack of use or age just like a tyre.

not so much wear as perish to harden up an break, does your machine give of a puff of smoke when pulling away from standing at a junction or lights?

Only smoked on start up.  Infact, with the engine barely being used, with the occasional start ups, it doesn't smoke at all.

blackbob:
:D try an oil additive for worn engines might soften up the oilseal a tad for a temp solution

bezzabsa:
