smoking at idle after (stock) headswap?
Well I just recentely replaced my 853 castings with a set of 241's I picked up off a board member, due to some bent valves that the old heads had. Anyway, I replaced the valve seals with Viton brand seals, since I had to pull old seals to replace the seats for the dual springs anyways. The car ran great after the headswap, and still does, but I have noticed recentely that it has been smoking a little at idle, after it is warm. It doesn't appear to smoke at WOT, just idle. I have read people having problems with the rocker bolts leaking a little oil, but these being stock unported heads, I don't think it pertains here. Could I have goofed up the seal install? It was the first set I have ever installed(first set of heads changed too ) What do you guys think?
