Oil in Exhaust Port After New Head Install

[BogusSVO]

were the guides changed?

Yeah had everything in the head changed out. Put all new supertech valves,guides,springs and guide seals. I have been letting the car run more doesn't smoke as bad but still smokes. I think the new turbo cut down on some of the oil going into the exhaust.

How many miles did you say were on this car? 300?

Or was that something else?

The short block has around 300 miles on it, The head has 5 miles if that. The car has been running in my driveway for a little while. Also update the smoke has died down some after I took it for a drive.

Update. After a few months the car is still sitting in a garage. I ran it for a while, drove it around for a little while and still no change in. After talking to a few people I think I am going to pull the motor and start again. I was told it might be the rings(oil ring) and thats why I am getting oil in the exhaust ports. People I talked to said I am getting blow by and having the oil pushed into the cylinders and out of the head. If any one could chime in on this it would be great. Thanks

I would do a cylinder leak down test before I would pull the motor to be sure.

Thats what I was thinking, I will have a chance to do that friday afternoon, I will post the results.

Did you ever get this figured out??? 4 pages, and 6 years later, was hoping to read all this and get to the end and hear what your issue is.
