minutes. The smoke is grayish/bluish. Anyone else had this prob??

Thanks!

Probably valve seals or rings, eventually it will clog the cat and then
things will go down hill fast. Do a standard compression test if the
compression is good more than likely it is the valve seals.

Procure a repair manual $30.00, a compression test gauge kit $80.00 and a
basic procedure
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://exp-aircraft.com/library/lavoie/compress.html" target="_blank">http://exp-aircraft.com/library/lavoie/compress.html</a>

The repair manual will tell you your cylinder psi and the mayimum
differential. Google is your friend.
