Also, even at full operating temperature, if you slow down suddenly then go again right away, like stop and go on the expressway, it will puff a blue cloud just for a second or two, then visibly clear again.
Other than the smoke, the engine runs smoothly and with normal power at all times.
I changed the oil and filter, and the PCV valve hoping that would help, but it still smokes like described above.
Have I blown a ring, or worn a valve guide and dropping oil especially when stopped? I was hoping the PCV valve would help or something tune-up oriented like that because I didn't want to spend money for engine work. Can anyone suggest what is causing this?
