My g/f just bought a 96' Celica GT with 65k on it. It sat all day yesterday because it wasnt insured, but today when i went out and started it up it puffed out some smoke. It was white smoke and just one nice size puff came out. I would think that if it was condensation that it would keep smoking for a few minutes until the exhaust warmed up alittle. Anyone else have this happen to them? Do you think it could be valve stem seals? Im just wondering if this may be a common problem or not.
Thanks, Dan --------------------  |

Yeah, actually the 5sfe's stock valvetrain is rather weak in the perspective and you have to live with the fact that it's going to burn a little oil. I guess you could have it fixed and the stock valve internals replaced with new stock ones, but just know that the problem is inavoidable and it something that happens. It's not bad or anything until you start "Shooting the blue" when while you're accelerating you're burning oil...then it's time to replace some things.
