ok so my car has recently started eating oil . and today the car started smoking only at idle with a very burnt oil smelll. then during driving there is no smoke .i popped out the spark plugs and there dosent appear to be any residue on the plugs. it also idle almost perfectly when it smokes .so im going to rule out the head gasket but could it be vavle seals?

I replaced the valve stem seals on our 7AFE, requires several specialized tools to do the job and took about 4hrs. Here's one tool;

The PITA is the stem keepers. If you drop one down into the crankcase!!!! Seals are about $40. |
