I have a horrible feeling. I can't get the car to stop smoking in start. Lets out a nice white puff everytime..atleast it seems damn white also could be wishful thinking. Car takes a while to get to the power. I mean it has to be up to full temp to get decent power. I am fearing valve stem seals fearing them like an STD. Car has now 158,000 coolant seems to be not leaking. Changed the oil very recently and will be keeping an eye on it. Any suggestions? Note this is on the 6th gen not the 4th.

I had this issue right after my swap, just a little bit of white smoke poofed out the back on startup. my warentee in hand took it to the mechanic and had them replace the valve guides, seals and gasket, allong with fully machining he head all free of charge. witch solved the problem
