200q20v Blue Smoke Startup

[edkellock at juno.com]

I'm going to go out on a limb a bit here...
When I had my 91 20v Avant, I would get that blue
smoke if I had driven it hard and not cooled it properly
before shutting down.  Is it possible that in your enthusiasm,
justified and understandle, that you might have done something
similar?  Just a thought.
