Valve Guides bad?

[ramos712]

I'm pretty sure that they are just wanted to get other people suggestions.. i recently got my car back up and running.. Got 500 miles on it.. But the thing is it EATS oil. Probably bout a quart every 50 miles. I check the engine bay every night i get out of the car because I like to keep it clean.. (check my galary to see). There is NO oil spots anywhere..

This is why i think its the valve guides.. its shooting blue smoke. there is tons of soot in the exhaust shooting out.. Whenever i put new oil in it.. its automaticaly black.

My brother and I thought at first that it was the seals on the turbo from being ran with no oil for 7 miles from the last owner. But we checked it out and there is no fresh oil in the turbo.

It goes through oil fast. We are going to take the head off to see if it is..

Also would anybody recommend reusing a Cometic Multi-Layer head gasket?

Are you sure it's not the piston rings? Do a compression test and post back with your results.

What do you mean your turbo has no fresh oil in it?

Also, re-using a head gasket in any situation is a bad idea at best.

compression is 180 accross the board so its not blow by if thats what your thinking..

What i meant is we were thinking that oil was going past the seals of the turbo.. se we felt inside the turbo to see if there was any oil resedue.. there wasn't

then a new headgasket it is if its the valve guides
