I just bought a 92 laser awd turbo. It does burn a bit of oil, and blow white smoke underboost due to the valve steam seals are starting to go. My question is, do you guys think that lucas oil stabilizer would help my problem out ? until i can get the cash to get the seals fixed.

dsm ----, my friend thought he had the same problem, white smoke, and he was talking about his valve stem seals , I guess it's a dsm thing, but when he took the head out, the headgasket was shot. Changed it, done....no smoke

valve stem seals go on the top and bottom of the valve guide to help keep oil out of combustion chamber
