Help Needed - Blue Smoke, only After Idling When Hot
Could really use some help, so I?ve updated and am posting this again.
Of late, I?ve noticed a couple of times when the car is warm, and sits running for a while, it blows a puff of smoke out of the back, once I start accelerating. Looks like it?s gotten a bit worse of late, so I did a little investigated. She did get a good Eye-talian tuneup the other day, with some ZR-1 appropriate highway speeds. Through all of it, no signs of any smoke. Actually, I?ve been impressed with how little oil it burns overall. So I don?t think there are any major issues inside the engine. Poked around here a bit, and came up with some references to the lower (?) fuel injector housing gaskets going bad, and letting oil up into the plenum, which then burns off in the first acceleration. Sounds exactly like what I am experiencing. Oh, and mine only does it out of the right exhaust pipe. Anyone have any thoughts on this? What parts do I need to address it? What else is worth doing while it?s this far apart? Thanks again, everyone.
