Oily intake, heads/intake runners and valves.. The pics that I'm including are of my heads and intake.
The car has been blowing blue smoke. I was pretty sure that it was because I didn't seal the rocker bolts..
Now I'm almost certain that I have bad valve seals also, and I definitely need a catch can..
What do you guys think?

That is a lot of oil in the intake. My car started using oil after I installed a cam. And I'm about to replace the heads, so I expect to find a similar situation. Tho I am not blowing blue smoke. That usually indicates your rings are going south. Which would also give you a ton of blow-by that would make for lots of oil coming thru the PCV to the intake.

Is there a link or something explaining blowby? I know one of the reasons the heads had oil in them...
But I shouldn't be having blowby issues.. the car only has 35k.

Just waiting for all the pieces to get here so that I can get the car back together.
I hoping that the Crane dual spring remover makes things alot easier.
