- Tue Mar 11, 2014 7:43 am #343304 Hey I've got a d16a7 with d15b vtec head in my civic. Rebuilt it myself and it's been going strong since only issue is after going down a hill ( I live on a hill ) upon acceleration I get a cloud of blue oil smoke for a few seconds. I thought I had bodged the install of the stem seals so I replaced them again which reduced the issue but has not fixed it.

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

of course, it could be other random things like the pcv valve also...
