If is just smokey on start up it stem seals. If its smokey all the time it could be turbo seals or rings

thats a fair amount of smoke. i think your either looking at rings or turbo seals. either way your gonna be burning some oil so make sure you REGULARLY check your dip stick, at least once or twice a week depending on how much you drive it

If your ring are shot you shot have compression leak. You can buy a kit from repco and do it your self for about $50 or if you have a mechanic mate he will will probably have one.

I'd say it's just the turbo seals. Pretty extreme to pull the head for that.

Brain fart would this work piston rings= steel turbo oil seal= steel valve stem seal= rubber so putting nylon stop leak in would tell me if stem seal is my problem??

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? that's normal to pop and crackle, just excess fuel if im not mistaken..

I have cannons only for a deeper note but but they have been on for about a year and never done it before the valve stem seals failed, the pop goes hand in hand with the puff of blue/ white smoke, when going down hill it gargles thats normal but when im at the bottom and touch the gas thas when it pops once and has a light puff

hmmm, that's an odd one blue means oil, possibly it just clearing out the system of the oil that was leaking in there from the dead stem seals?

Just throwin' this out there, but maybe the timings off. I can't see leaking oil causing a backfire, burns to slow, so I'm thinking fuel somewhere (or some time) when it shouldn't be?

Soarers run rich . Normal to have a pop as ovefuel gets burned inside the exhaust . Seeing as you have no real mufflers , this makes it audible .

Personally I wouldn't be worried
