Smokin' stang
88 with 5.0 H.O. police interceptor motor. This is probably what I think it is, but here's the smoke under heavy acceleration, and occasionally at stoplites. The car runs real strong. I am thinking valve seals/guides, but PCV also comes to mind. It's not real bad, but noticable. Leaks no oil, and doesn't smoke on the interstate at speed (75).Thoughts??

RE: Smokin' stang
Can you tell what color the smoke is? That would help in identifing what fluid it's burning.
Black=gas/rich condition
Blue=oil burning
White=coolant burning

DUH> I forgot the most important thing, it's oil, blueish.

That's oil. How many miles on the motor and does it smoke upon start up after it has sit for a while?

That had crossed my mind. may try some "cure-in-a-can" as it can't get worse, and it may buy me some time. Thanks.
