I have a '96 with a 1.8... When i first start my car it smokes (it's not condensation), as long as it sits there idle it continues to smoke... After you drive it for a mile or two the smoke clears up... What would cause this? Bad valve seats? Thanks for any help!

i was told by my toyota mechanic that it would be cheaper to just swap an entire engine out. i don't remember the exact pricing he gave me though.
i need to fix them :-/ -------------------- **If you play My Brute, joing the 6gc.net clan!**
