after sitting for about 15mins when engine is warm, i start the engine and out of only the drivers side exhaust come one puff of white smoke about as big as a shopping bag. hoping it was a valve guide seal i lifted the cover off and they all look perfect. is there any chance it could be the inlet manifold, or where else should i look?
thanks.

I gather they are the teflon ones not the umbrella rubber type? Might even be guides if they weren't replaced. It's really hard to diagnose without seeing things unfortunately. It all a guessing game.
Shouldn't matter. I also only use silicone for t
