Smoking GZE

When I start my GZE in the mornings it spits out a nice puff of white smoke.. it only does this on startup, if I immediately turn the engine off and start it again it doesn't happen.
Would this be my valve stem seals going? If so how easy are they to replace yourself?
Cheers

is it overheating or running like shit? CHeck the water and oil in it...white smoke can be a sign of a soon to blow, or blown head gasket.

runs very cool and runs as well as the day I got it over a year ago, it does eat a little oil, but thats probably cause I enjoy driving  just topped up the oil, seemed to help, thanks

if it continues check the colour of the coolant and oil...see if either look milky...bhg sign...some 1ggte/1ggze, m series etc did the same thing...just take caution...prevention is better than cure.

For my conversion I used the Gen3 4agze out of an ae101 levin gtz and used pretty much everything out out of the cut.. the wiring was the worst part, I got Johansen automotive to wire it up and they fucked it in the skull, so don't ask them!
