Blue smoke is oil in the combustion chamber. Like 05 old dog said most likely the valve guides. Especially if you have the TP rocker boxes.

My wife was following me one time and she said that all of a sudden she saw blue smoke come from the exhaust. It was not very much nor did it last but a split second. My mechanic, who is the best around said that on rare occasions the piston ring gaps will sometimes line up just long enough to let a small amount of oil pass. It has only happened once as far as I can tell. There was a very small amount of oil residue in the exhaust tip from the rear cylinder. Just what I was told so this ain't gospel.
