How did you find out your valve seals were bad? What were some of the symptoms if you don't mind me asking...

my buddy who is a mechanic told me he was sure it was (or had alot to do with my valve seals) because after i let it sit and idle for 10 mins or more when i take off it smokes really bad and it was a used head so pretty much im just trusting him

EDIT: I'm a dullard. My bad.

However, VSS typically refers to Vehicle Speed Sensor.
