Not necessarily. What is causing the blue smoke is the seal being worn out. Oil is basically getting past a rubber part. I mean if the engine got past so many miles before the seals blew, theoretically, just replacing that seal would give you that much more life. There is probably a manufacturing flaw somewhere, but how much do you want to spend to find out. If you were to pull the heads, and do a complete head rebuild, then that is a different story.
Does anyone know if you can do a valve job on these heads? And where would one get a tune to compensate for the air?
