Is it possible?

I don't really see how. All your seals are doing is stopping oil from entering through the guides.
Unless it is a tremendous amount of oil and it's mixing with the fuel in the combustion chamber but it would be smoking an insane amount lol

I wouldn't think so either. As he said, they just stop oil from getting past the guides. It could be bad enough as to foul a spark plug while parked and then it burns the oil onto the plug which could cause a little loss of spark intensity. But I don't think you would notice it. If you are asking because you have a fouled plug or 2, I would bet you have bad oil ring or rings, or cylinder wall issue allowing oil into the top of the cylinder and that can be enough oil to foul a plug and lose power.

On some foreign engines, people will accidentally install valve seals upside down. Don't ask me how, but it does create some various problems and some of them seem to do with output/leakdown.

I'm wondering if OP is experiencing smoke and loss of power. I'd gear towards rings/cylinder walls.

Yea it smoked quite a bit we assumed it was the coating from the headers as the set up is new but we are leaning towards a bad seal cus thr oil loss is starting to show up

Not necisarily loss of power but low dyno numbers , smoke and oil level decreasing

Thats funny there. No you cant lose any compression with bad guid seals. They are only hoods that stop oil from running down the valve stem. They arent really a seal. The valves hold compression by closing.
