Default Puff of blue smoke at shifting of gears
My 427 FE S/O has 7500 miles, I noticed that if I gun the car in from 1st to 2nd gear I will see a puff of blue smoke at gear shift 1st to 2nd and also 2nd to 3rd. While I have not tested the compression of this engine it does not show any evidence of burning any oil or diminishing compression. Any thoughts? I hope this does not mean I will need rings any time soon... I use CAstrol 10-W-40 non synthetic oil and Fram filters.
tks
