Hmm, you say it helped until it warmed up, so it was smoking before being warm anyways right?

My problem is i get no smoking if im constantly driving or cars not warm, but once i go run a few places and the cars warmed up, longer stoplight at a fourway and bam i release smoke once 1.5-2k rpm hit.

The only other thing i can think of is messing around with the oils and weights like you mentioned but i need more of a fix so i dont see a huge ass cloud of smoke when i pull away.

In reality whatever ill add the stupid quart more often, the smoke just really pisses me off cause i go detail it, car looks like a 100k and releases oil smoke clouds lol.

If there is no other fix, im not TOO worried because i have a family friend who works on ferraris/lamborghinis/audis etc 24.7, so im sure he could do the seals with me for a few hundred $$$.
