Heavy Blue Smoke

I think It may be a ring problem, but whenever I accelerate hard, I get a trail of blue smoke...

305 V-8 --- 1979 El Camino

Someone told me it could have something to do with the transmission and a filter of some sort?

I'm usually really good with cars, but this problem is bugging me, I already changed the Rings and it persists.....

Any Ideas?

Could be the engine Valve stem seals, but usually the engine will smoke on startup after setting.

There is also the possibility referring to the transmission that the Trans Vacume modulator is bad and the engine is sucking trans fluid through the vacume line directly to the intake manifold where it is entering the cylinders and burning the transfluid. You can unhook the Vacume modulator vacume line and see if there is tranny fluid present in the line.

If that is the case then replace the vacume modulator they usually run anywhere from 15 to 50 depending on where you buy it.

Good luck.

Cool Re: Heavy Blue Smoke

check that your pcv valve is venting properly.I had a similar problem that about drove me nuts,then one day my brother in law pointed out that the hose going from the pcv valve to the carb was kinked.I fixed the kink and no more smoke. Some times what seems a major problem only needs a minor fix.
