I have a "67 Fury III with a 1976 318 engine. I notice when I start it after several days of not running it there is noticeable blue coming out of the tailpipe. After a few minutes of running it seems to pretty much stop. The engine although it has high mileage (200.000 +), runs very well with good oil pressure and moderate oil consumption.
I know that sometimes changing the umbrella type valve seals can help this situation as the original seals over time can become hard and fail to seal properly. I am a little leery to try this change because sometime back I had a 1962 Dodge Dart with the slant six engine that would put out a small amount of blue smoke after leaving a stop light or at first start. I replaced the seals using a threaded air chuck in the spark plug holes to hold up the valves ( I have heard of people using nylon rope in place of air too).
I don't know what I did wrong but afterwards the car smoked so badly that I couldn't drive it. It fouled every spark plug and used 2 quarts of oil in 60 miles. I couldn't see behind me. I don't want this to happen to this car. Any thoughts and info here are welcome and most appreciated. Thanks
