If its been sitting for a while with lots of cold starting to shift it around the paint shop, it could be it just needs a good run, or new plugs.

Take it out the road, reset the ecu and give it a good flog. My V8 doesn't like sitting around either

If there's smoke coming from the engine when you take the oil breather off, it means one thing: there's too much pressure in the engine oil areas, and this means one of two things:

1. Rings (more likely)
2. Valves AND stem seals

Now, as far as I understand it, a well looked after 1UZFE will last pretty much forever. You haven't had a low oil situation have you?

I'd be checking the pressure AFTER doing a compression test on each cylinder.

Can't be anything else I'm afraid.
