I recently had to have the head, intake, and exhaust gaskets changed. After everything went back together now it smoke just a little but (Blue) when ever i first start it up. Once its warm it really wont do it but when its still "cold" it will. Any suggestions on anything that i can do or add to the oil to help correct this? Thanks

Uh uh, don't worry about it. A little blue smoke when you start, valve seals may be a little worn.
