...then not noticeable after warm-up. On very cold days start-up smoke is hardly noticeable. A few people suggested I have worn valve stem seals. It is a 1987 with a 305 TBI with just over 80k miles. Someone said with an air compressor it is an easy job without removing the heads and that they sell kits with everything needed but the compressor to complete the job. Has anyone done this before? How easy was it and were you happy with the results. If you had to do it again would you do it the same way or pull the heads?
