yep and I will NEVER use Cometic head gaskets on AFR heads again
But it wasn't near as bad as Kerry's SVO. You could not see his car by the time he drove to my trailer

The car doesn't smoke at all while at idle, but when you rev it up it smokes like im doing a pro mod burn out.

My head wasn't warped I had them checked before I put them on the motor I also had a brand new trick flow valve spring upgrade kit put on with new retainers, stem seats, and springs. The turbine housing is fine no oil leaking at all.

If the smoke is going away during driving, seems like to me it couldn't be a oil ring. Have you double checked your valve adjustment on that cylinder?

Ok, I've got a couple of questions. When you put the new seals on, did you use the little plastic sleeve deal over the tip of the valve to keep from nicking the seal? And what kind of valve stem seals are you running?

The seals that I pulled off the heads were the brand new seals that came in the trickflow kit i think they were the viton seals, the new seals I put on were teflon from birmingham piston, and what plastic sleeve deal are you talking about?

I've never had good luck with the teflon seals, the viton ones are the way to go. The sleeve I was referring to slides over the tip of the valve (it's open on one end only) and covers the valve lock grooves, and keeps the seal from getting cut/nicked on the edges of the grooves. It only takes a small slice on a seal to create a leak. If you don't have that sleeve, you can use some scotch tape. I know the Fel-Pro seal kits come with the sleeve. Also be sure to put some oil on the contact area of the seal where it slides on the valve stem before you put it on.
