Hey gearheads (!holla)
Normally I'm in my own little world during startup in the morning. Finish drinking coffee, thinking bout school/work/randoms. Then I see fog in my rearview on a clear day... hunh? I start watching every time, and on cold cold days, it smokes on startup. About a car sized fogbank for the first 5 seconds, then it runs clear. It's only 135 on the clock. What am I in for? Valve stems worn and leaking oil into the cyls when shutdown? Can't be rings already? Gaskets? So actions? Ignore? Compression test? Screw it and race til dead? Its the 2.2 fwiw. Agent 99 |

valve stem seals. nothing to worry about. just stay on top of your oil. my ST does it to a much lesser extent at over 200k mi.
compression test will check the rings if ur worried -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
