Re: blue smoke at morning startup

When you do have the belt replaced go ahead & replace the cam seal & the timing belt tensier spring, most Toyota dealers will recomend it.... I would also consider a water pump replacement while they are in there since you would save on the labor....

Re: blue smoke at morning startup

I got the car back. They replaced all the seals. Now the blue smoke is completely gone. I am so grateful for the help from people in this forum.

Re: blue smoke at morning startup

I heard that you can replace the valve stem oil seals without removing the cylinder head. Can this be done on 2004 Camry 4 cyl. If so, any comments would help.

Re: blue smoke at morning startup

I bought my 2004 Camry 4cyl used with 84.000 miles and it had the blue smoke in the morning. I suspected oil was pooling up around the valve guides due to sludge. I was afraid to use an engine flush so switched to synthetic blend oil and 1 Qt of Marvel Mystery oil. It took two oil changes at 3,000 miles before the smoke completely stopped. Slow cleaning is the safest way to take care of this problem.
