New b questions...

Who have guys found to offer maintenance parts the least expensive as a whole and where can I locate valve seals for a 3.0L? When the car sits overnight and is fired the next day a decent puff of blue smoke is emmited. After initial start-up, no blue smoke.

RockAuto.com or buy from one of the forum sponsors... SHOSource, SHONut, RCM Automotive, etc.

I have always dealt with RCM automotive, and they are in PA, so shipping is normally the cheapest.

Do you have oil leaking into the plug wells? While you might not think oil could find it's way down the sparkplug threads and into the cylinder, that is apparently what it does. Mine had that puff of smoke in the morning until I did the last 60K and fixed my plug well leaks. Not a hint of smoke afterwards. That surprised me. Also, if using synthetic oil I recommend you switch to a conventional oil.

Very very light oil found in #2 spark plug hole, no oil in others. I'll go ahead and replace the gaskets for the spark plug wells and go from there, thanks.
