M57 330d fed up with blue smoke

Yes, just did my valve cover gasket and I thought it was better. A few days later it's back to smoking up a storm. Light blue clouds...

Removed my catch can set up which was undersized and this seems to have resolved my issue. Fingers crossed

I've got a catch can set up for the m57 330d it's a provent with separate catch can. Also comes with adaptor plate, pipes etc. Pipes are 1" tubing for catch can.

Going to be selling it soon

Did you ever fix your smoke? Didn’t see a follow up

+1. Was there a resolution ? Your last posting mentioned selling the Provent oil catch can so I presume it wasn’t the source of resolution.

Nope - got rid of it.

I suspect it was either rings or turbo replacement wasn't good.

Didn't run the provent long enough to see if it would have helped. The kit is on eBay for sale for the 330d
