blue smoke at start up

[cinciguy89turbo]

Hey guys. When I start my car up generally when its cold about 4 out of 5 times blue smoke comes out...like enough to where if my door is open my cabin gets some smoke in it lol I hear that there are some valve seals or something that are leaking. My question is....is this worth fixing or should I just let it go? Since I'm assuming this is kind of a big job to replace these seals

definetly worth the replacement unless u wanna keep a quart of oil with you everywhere u go..

It's not a super big job, especially if you have the right tools. You could do it in a couple of hours, if you knew what you were doing.

This isn't exceptionally pricey, the seal part number from Toyota is 90913-02062, should be about $5.60 each if you buy them individually, much less if you pick up an entire set.

THere is a write up on how to do this on Supras.com, it's been there for a very long time. http://supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=5

take off timing belt, valve covers, cams,valve caps, valve springs and there you are, gotta have the right tools also.*********note make sure the piston is at tdc on the valves that your taking the springs off on!! or you drop a valve into the cylinder!...ouch=take off head time
