Smoking after cam-swap

[TheKitchenSink]

Just finished a cam-swap on Friday. It looks like there is blue smoke coming out the exhaust when it idles, it seems to go away after a little bit. I put all new valve seals on when I did the swap and all new gaskets, any idea why it could be doing that?

I've had two friends who had LS1 hot cams put in their cars at the same place. They both smoked a little, but after a few hundred miles on them both, one stopped the other didn't. I've been told that some times a few of the hot cams will smoke no matter what & others wont, sometimes permanently. I do not know this to be a fact or fiction.

Hmm, I've got the TSP228R I'll have to see what happens after I put some miles on it. Ill keep an eye on my oil level to..just to make sure I'm not burning it.

You may need a tune.

I've got a tune for May 7th....I was thinking the same thing. I guess we will see if it helps, I think its only during idle that it does it. Ill figured it out in a couple weeks I guess.

the reason i ask is it might be oil burning off the headers and the heads. seems stupid i know but if you just swapped it then you never know. but get a tune ASAP.
