Message I blow clouds of smoke whenever I open the throttle after having high intake vacuum. Ex: I coast down a hill, no smoke, but as soon as I get back on the gas (no boost yet) big cloud of oil smoke. If I gas it a bit it burns away quickly. I smoke a but at idle, but I''m not really going through oil all that fast. Maybe 1/4qt in the last 1500 miles. I have done Ash's complete PCV delete, so there is no blowby getting into the intake, the inlet tubes an TBs are clean, so that rules out compressors, but I have oil in the plenum. This motor looks like it was either run on crap oil or wasn't changed properly. I have one cylinder leaking through the rings that I will need to take care of eventually. I'm thinking my valvestem seals are the culprit. I just wanted to do a sanity check before I tear into my motor.

Also, what do people think of the Supertech Valvestem Seals that COZ has?
