Hi,
In another thread, I posted about a plume of blue smoke at startup on my 06 EZ30d H6 3.0 Tribeca.
I was offered all types of opinions and oils to use etc. I don't want to turn the thread into a how to address the issue to type of thread.
What I'd like to do is understand under what circumstances a set of catch cans might reduce the plume of blue smoke on startup. Searching around the internet, quite a few people claim that adding catch cans can reduce or eliminate this smoke.
I know that it won't do a thing for consumption, but I'd like to see what if it can do anything for the smoke at startup.
Here are 3 scenarios that were identified as a root cause and I'd like to know if the catch cans might help reduce smoke for and what I believe the answer might be:
1) Bad Valve Stem Seals...no
2) Bad Rings....yes
3) Clogged PCV system....(already replaced the PCV valve and I am using Kreen in the oil to clean the system)....maybe?
Thanks for your thoughts!
