New Vlavetrain = burning oil
New Vlavetrain = burning oil I had just installed my new valve train
https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...tall-pics.html
it was the first time i ever did a swap like that and i didnt know. nor was told about having to change Valve Steam Seals and i think its letting oil into the engine because theres a bit of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust all the time. i reused the old ones but they looked ok to me. could anything else be the cause of the burning oil ? i really dont want to pull it all apart again to change them out but if i have to i have to. any advice would be appreciated

I did the same thing, swapped valve springs, used my old seals, and the new springs kept pulling my valve seals up. So I had to pull all the springs again and just went by Auto Zone and bought a set of Felpro Valve Seals, they went on alot tighter then the ones I had and havent came off since.

Verdad Gallardo Yea with the FelPro's they fit really well, I used a socket the same diameter as the seal and just lightly tapped it with a small hammer untill I felt it bottom out. Just be careful not to break them.lol.
ill do one side at a time when the new seals come in hopefully monday. i just want to drive the car so bad! 
just curious. what kind of problems would i have for running the car with bad valve seals ? would i jus be burning oil or could i possibly damage something else ?
burningh opil - steadily consuming oil and having to add oil or have less oil in pan possibly spinning bearing.
extre oil killing spark plugs, O2 sensors, clogging cats (if you have cats) coating walls of exhaust with oil residue, etc.
Oil has a REAL low octane rating and will lead to detonation causing more wear and abuse to rod/main bearings
Definitely tear it down and repair ASAP.
