i think there was a post the other day on this, i dont remember off hand what they said it was but i think it might have been the plug seals. the head gaskets rarely blow on a sho.

I'm not too sure, but it sounds like valve stem seals. Once again, I'll let someone else chime in here.

It was my post that BlackonBlackATX was referring too. General concensus was that the valve stem seals. Head gaskets rarely blow on the SHO. Mine has the same blue smoke. Just my .02 cents worth.

Typically if the blue smoke is visible only upon startup then most likely valve stem seals.

I think burning a little oil only hurts gas milage and the environment....

Just watch your oil levels...
