Quick question
it's my frst.
when i bought it, it was smoking, but i havnt really driven it since.
now the thing is. it smokes (blue) abit on start up
so i went the cheapest root and fitted new value stem oil seals.
it still smokes but not as much.
also i have not really drove it since i changed the seals. less then 15 miles. the reason is im not insured on it yet.
so i was wondering should i drive it so it can clear all the shit thats been sat there engine. or could it be somthing else. like rings
cheeRS
