Runs rough n smokes blue if I try n drive it cold.
Hey guys I know it's bad but one morning I left my GF's place late for school n didn't let my truck warm up for more then about a minute n I noticed anything over 1500 rpm's she runs rough n pops a lil n blows blue smoke. I'm used to VE pumps with timing advance stuff n wondered if it's nothing to for it to do that. If I let it warm up for 3-5 minutes then drive it she's fine. I's that normal?

it's not oil past the valve seals. It only does it if I try driving it while cold over 1500RPMS. If I let it idle for a few minutes after sitting over night it's all fine. I did more research n it's normal.

Bluish white smoke is unburned fuel. It also has a very sharp odor that will make your eyes water if you are in it for longer than a moment.
Totally normal to have that with a cold engine. Not good to drive off with it doing that though. Let it warm up a bit longer before driving. Unburned fuel will wash the cylinders down, cause more wear, and contaminate your oil.
