Installed correctly, it's incredibly rare that the Viton valve (blue) seals leak oil down the guides. An alternative seal would be the factory brown seals available through your local dealer. Just order for a 1997-2000 car or 1999-2001 truck application.
Check for oil getting pulled into the intake manifold via breathers.
Good luck and thank you for your service

What is the correct way to install them?
Thank you, it was my third tour.
might want to check the rocker studs sometimes they reach thru into the runners and if not lock tighted or sealed, oil will reach the runners. Also if ur runnin stock rockers with a big cam, you might start ******* up the v guides which can also allow oil into the runners. imo
And thank you very much for bein over there.

They are stock Heads..I'm going to do a Leak-Down Test and Compression Test on it tomorrow, that will tell me if it's the Valve Guides for sure. It has the symptoms of it though.
I don't like the sand, but the Air Force for some reason thinks I do.
