    Either way I'd say you made the wise move, now you have a brand new engine basically and if you change your mind on selling you can get damn good $$ for it

    For sure you can. I just saw you said you bought from a smaller dealer. My original comment was thinking you bought it from Toyota.

    Couple things might help .. first, BG EPR oil flush. It can help break up carbon deposits and stuck rings and might make the blue smoke go away entirely. Add the can to the oil and idle it for 30 minutes. Then change oil and filter. About 3k miles later, inspect the filter and replace if necessary, there's going to be a lot of gunk.

    Second, replace both PCV valves. They take a couple minutes and are cheap from the dealer, maybe $10 each. This is good practice to change with spark plugs but most people don't.

    This is a good starting point before you go getting a head gasket replaced.
