Need Insight on a problem with 2000 F350 SD 7.3

[buckanut]

I am looking at buying a 2000 F350 SD Crew Cab 4X4 7.3 with 175,000 miles. It has a miss at idle when it is cold but once it is warm it goes away. It smokes really blue for the first 5 minutes when it's cold but it also goes away once it is warm. If anyone could give me some insight as to what the problem could be with it I would greatly apprecriate it. Buckanut

Sounds like injector o-rings to me, but there are more knowledgeable people on here than I. They will chime in soon.

yep injector o-rings and at 175k
i would clean or replace the ipr, drain the hpop res real good and make sure teh filter screen is clear not sludged over
did you or can you get an oil sample for analysis, that would give you tons of insight on its internals

coolant ph check
