1998 F150 Puffs Blue Smoke On Start Up

I only see it on start up, after it starts I don't see blue smoke or smell it could this be valve guide seals? If so are they hard to change? This truck has 168000 miles on it and has a 4.6 engine.

I wouldn't worry about it. My old 97 5.4 did that for years.
