this is all for a 89 b230f 186k miles

hello all! I have this starting on me now

i have a slight start up smoke, not a cloud forming amount but a slight haze coming out straight fromt he pipe then fades away quick...then nothing during idle...BUT when my wife revved it for me, not redlined or anything, but to 2500 rpm blips...it then did the same thing but in lesser amounts, it doesnt coem out and form clouds or anythign like a constant burning of oil, but maybe valve guides? I was wanting to replace the cam in this head to somthing more performance oriented..and a header, cam gear and elec fan..just for a little more power..not ready for a turbo project yet haha...maybe on another car...

So do you think it could be valve guides? or head related at least? My valves arent loud, but they arent quite either..probably need adjustment. Is this really a hard project? I can work on things, i am not unknowledgable on mechanics of cars or aircraft for that matter...

thanks a whole lot, and i wish i didnt have to change my name on here.....

robert
