Blue smoke on startup
I'm a new member that just joined today with a 2004 Crossfire coupe. I'm getting thick, blue smoke when starting, changed the valve seals, and it made no difference. Any ideas?

Re: Blue smoke on startup
Could be rings or residual oil
Assuming the blue smoke smells like oil?
How many miles on the car?
Do you have any maintenance records
Any other available details?

Does the smoke smell like oil? Is there any oily residue in the exhaust tail pipe?

Make sure that PVC system is clear. If it's clogged it will definitely cause this as well. So verify that the PVC hose breathes from the valve covers because if they're clogged it will definitely cause it to smoke.

More info needed.
Limited or SRT 6. I am assuming smoke coming out of tailpipe. Is there any oil in coolant, coolant in oil, oil usage. Is smoke only on startup, hard acceleration, continuous.
