blue smoke after long idle

[Alex Bland]

Alright i searched and i see alot of people who get blue smoke while there car is idleing, my car only does it after i let it idle for a long time and then start going, and it will do it for about 30 seconds but its quite a bit of smoke. english racing rebuilt engine, it has 400 miles on it. could it be my turbo giving up on me? theres no shaft play and it spins fine

Valve seals I'd say.

valve seals or guides

valve seals or guides

X1000 have them redo your valve guides and seals, if they already did, it should be at their cost, those just dont go bad that fast

if your car starts to smoke after you press the gas but its fine at idle at times. THen yes its your valve seals
