I recently swapped the motor in my 95 SR.

The engine was used, shipped up from Cali. Don't know how long it had been sitting.

After dropping the motor in, the valves were ticking pretty bad and its puffing lots of blue smoke.

A couple doses of Seafoam and few oil changes has quieted the valves down but has not helped the blue smoke issue. When driving around town, the smoke is not that noticeable. When on the trial and the engine is idling a lot it's really visible when first get back on the gas. Big, big, big clouds of smoke....

What I'm trying to determine is the issue the valve seals or rings. Is there away to determine?

Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
