    EGT smokes

    I noticed for a while after I run my egt when i stop at like an intersection smoke passes me by .I was just wondering if you guys think it's the valve seals cause it only does it if it's been setting awhile and you first start it or when you drive it and stop at a light or an intersection.when you get back on the gas it quits.you can run it hard and it don't smoke only uses like 1/2 a quart between oil changes(every 3,000) I'm gettin ready to boost it and I wanna fix the oil burning before then so do you guys think it's safe with just replacing all the seals and gaskets including valve seals? I think it would prolly be a good idea to to a compression test to huh?

    Are you sure it's burning in the engine? Could it be a leak ending up on your exhaust piping ? Do you see it when coasting under high vacuum?
