[QUOTE="BobsYourUncle, post: 675502, member: 15057"] My 1998 Hyundai accent 1.5 has 210k on the clock. Valve stem seals need to be replaced. Smokes when cold, almost no smoke when warm besides a bit of black when hitting the rev limiter. When its warm and left to idle for a few minutes, on the 1st rev it smokes but stops after that. Its been like this for the last 7 years or so which has included a few jhb to dbn trips, and I haven't felt noticeable loss of power or anything. So could you maybe be standing still for long periods of time when the car is idling? perhaps that's why it smokes when warm. But it wouldn't smokes continuously if it valve stems, just when revved( when you pull away etc) after long idling sessions, ie traffic etc , But its enough smoke so that its visible in my rear-view mirror.
