427 fe side oiler puff of blue smoke
My car is releasing a puff of blue smoke in between shifts, especially 1st to 2nd gear. Thinking that the car was not used much by the previous owner that the valve seals were dried out.
I just changed the valve seals, the sparkplugs did not show evidence of fowling due to oil burning, nor we could hear any air hizzing when the pistons were filled with compressed air while changing the seals.
After a brief test drive, it is still showing the puff of blue smoke. Any thoughts what could be causing this annoying thing?
Thanks.

PS
I use Castrol 40 grade oil the car has 8581 miles I must assume that the engine has this mileage too, don't know from the previous owner, he bought it with this engine. The engine feels very strong not as if it has been abused. |
