zmit - what grade oil are you using in your machine? GTE's like to eat thin oils, especially past the valve stems and various other gaskets lol

Josh, if it were the rings, i'd known about it.
It seems to only occur after intense vacuum on hot days. i.e. acceleration after a long downhill/deceleration stretch.

It isn't too serious, and happens pretty infrequently...

Oh ok, in that case it should be fine to go on the dyno then :D

Valve stem seals will usually leak on the overrun...

You sure it's the valve stem seals Tim, and not the rings?
valve stems are usually smokey only on startup.

Thanks man,
I probably won't be doing it any time soon. I'll worry about it in a few months.

hey Tim, I have a set of valve stem seals here if you need them?

Well the turbo has been done.... Brand new GT3582R core in my car now.
Except I still have some intermittent smoke from potential worn valve stem seals :(

I think i'll have to say i'm out until at least mid-to-late next year.

MRVirgin - Around when do you think you'll have the V6 'built and run-in'?
ZMIT - when were you planning on getting that turbo rebuilt?
EssDub - You in?

I'm not in any hurry, but I want to avoid doing it in summer though.
