Anyone in PDX done valve seals?
My car is smoking on start up (blue smoke), so that most likely means valve seals are shot.
Has anyone done this locally? I was planning on picking up a JWT valve spring compressor, but I've never had to do anything this invasive.
The other option is to have a shop do it, but I have no idea where to bring it. West side is preferred as I live in Hillsboro and work in Beaverton.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I have a 2005 G35 with a Rev-up motor, if that helps.

Responding to an old thread, I know, but before you make plans to buy any seals and go through the torture of replacing them, make sure the problem is what it is by doing a compression leak down test.
It doesn't cost too much, but you'll need a compressor to use it. Here's a video:
