Back on the Road

  Good job, sounds like you're a wrench addict, glad things worked out for 
you, but I do wonder how a valve seal could be intermittant the way you 
describe. In my experience valve seals will cause  blue smoke at startup as 
oil that has pooled around the stems gets sucked in at startup. White smoke 
is normally water, not oil, but I realize some guys use funny oil in there 
steeds.
