Any of you guys out there that had a 99 and up Cobra know what im talking about. Every now and then oil smoke on start up. Well my 05 sat for a week and when I started it today I experienced the same thing, oil smoke for a few seconds, nice bright blue cloud.....is the cammer motors that do this? Some how oil seeps through the valves?

dont think its a bad motor, the DOHC engines are notorious for it.

I would not worry about it,my 2003 mach 1 did it occasionally and it was not a problem.The car never burnt oil or anything.I took it to the dealer ,but they were not worried.Quite a few mach's did this I hear,maybe just a ford design quirk.
