Blue smoke? Time to rebuild my VQ
Okay so I own an 04 G35 coupe and it has just turned over to 102,000 miles Ive done pretty good justice to her not to mention redlining her on a constant basis, I cant help myself. I got the pop-charger, z-tube, iso thermal MD plenum spacer, UR underdrive pulleys, lightweight flywheel, F1 racing clutch, Megan racing resonated test pipes, and my favorite, my nismo s-tune exhaust. With these mods I cant seem to keep my composure and I beat her up nicely mods were all done between 85k and 100k. Anyways I was changing my oil and decided to go with Mobile one full synthetic. After I did this my car started to blow blue smoke out of the exhaust, guess since synthetic gets into those seals easier I guess I may be experiencing some blow-by. Went back to conventional oil and it still smokes, probably worse now. Since I love her to death I plan on rebuilding the engine so I can run her for a long time.
This is what I had in mind:
Wiseco Pistons
Eagle Rods
ACL race series Bearings
New valves, seats, seals, and guides
Should I replace the springs, rocker arms,and retainers as well? I kinda dont wanna spend all that money if I dont need to but I do plan on going with osiris and raising that redline a tad. I plan on running a strong N/A build until the funds are right to maybe possibly go with my dreams and drop two blowers under my hood. Any input anyone?

I would suggest Ferrea Valve seals and HR Valve springs
The spring seats are the same as the De
The valve seats or guides are not really needed
If you want to go with upgraded valves you will need to get them lapped
so they can sit right on the seat.
I went with Supertech Inconel flat valves to raise the compression up a bit
Get Cams if you want to raise your redline stock cams don't make power past 6300-6400 RPM
You will need to get your lash checked so it can be setup properly
