My wideband says 15.0-16.0 at idle. It's only reading the driver's side though, I need to get my B2 O2 sensor replaced so I can see if it reads the same as B1

B1 and B2 NB O2's read the same. I'll try to get a video later.
The heads came pre-assembled from TSP. I just bolted them on.

Well I haven't run a comp test yet but I did pick up a gauge today. I noticed that after a long drive it seems to get worse after it sits and idles a bit, definitely smells like oil, but only after idling for a little bit. When I first park it and look it's not bad at all. I'm just wondering if my pistons shrink a little bit and allow some oil to get behind the rings when they cool down a bit.

Well I've still been too damn lazy to run a compression test on my motor. But...I pulled the throttle body off my intake tonight and stuck my hand down in there, and there is a thin layer of oil inside the manifold. I think my problem might be the crappy PCV system. It doesn't smoke anymore except if I let it sit and idle for a few minutes, then it smokes up a storm. Definitely smells like oil. I went ahead and bought an LS6 valley cover from a member on the site, so I'll be installing that in a week or two. Hopefully that will solve the problems - and hopefully I'll get off my lazy *** and do the compression test sometime before then too
