Gotta go back to basics. White smoke = oil, black smoke = running rich, blue smoke = anti-freeze.

One out of three ain't bad. Is that how the song goes?

[QUOTE] hOW HARD WAS DOING THE VALVE SEALS??

Doing the valve seals was pretty easy, however it didn't fix the smokeing problem completely. I did drive the car for a while to see how everything was running. The car runs great with the exception of the smoke. I'm going to pull the turbo and see if the oil seals in the new turbo are possibly bad on the turbine side. If that dosen't pan out,then I will pull the head and check the head gasket. I'll replace with a WFR gasket, and Race Ware Studs. I will possibly get a Stage 2 head as well. BTW who has the best price on Race Ware studs and WFR head gaskets?
Thanks for the input,
Mark...

Did you check the valve guides when you changed the seals ? It would have been quite easy to do while change the seals.
