I am once again in need of your collective wisdom. After a seemingly successful head gasket replacement our 1.2 8v 2000 Punto is increasingly billowing clouds of lingering blue/grey smoke after a cold start. It doesn't smoke when hot.
From reading these forums I gather that it could be the valve stem seals (should have replaced them when the head was off....)
Should I first do a compression test to exclude other possible causes?
And any ideas why this happened after HG change? Just chance?
