premature valve guide wear

It did yesterday, travelling through the city and stopping at traffic signals. But once on the highway no noticable smoke. Maybe he was just blowing smoke. It is easy enough to mess with the FNG.

Exhaust smoke while driving is another issue. Is it overfilled with oil? These cars are very sensitive to overfilling and will injest it right away and smoke like a mutha. If your car is more than 5 yrs old you may also need to check the AOS. If it fails oil will leach into the intake causing exhaust smoke while driving.

I don't believe that it overfilled. Checking the dipstick first thing in the morning i don't hit the top indent. I have been reading about the air/oil separator. From what i read it isn't overly expensive and a Saturday replacement.

If you are smoking after the initial start up you could have a failed or failing Air Oil Separator or AOS. Do a search for this and see if the the symtoms sound familiar.
