smokey after driving

[SW86]

after i drive my MJ, even if its not all the way warmed up, there will always be smoke in my valve cover. if it gets up to operating temps, theres more but its always consistant everytime. no more, no less smoke. is this just something these older 4.0s do or is there a problem a foot? oil pressure seems good to go for 10w40 oil. do any of your MJs do this also?

 

thanks

common for a vehicle without a true pcv system

Ring blow by. Worn piston rings. and or leaky valve guides. If your not using any oil, don't worry about it. Even perfect fitting parts will leave a little oil on cylinder walls to burn and show smoke.
