Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

WSUTARD said
Well I have hit a snag. Can’t get the air QD in on the #5 or 7 cylinders due to the headers. Gotta grab some nylon rope to try the rope trick.

However, all these seals I’m taking off are basically new. I have started to skip the exhaust seals. I’m not sure this is my issue.

If you run the piston to TDC when you have the springs off you can take the air pressure off the cylinder and check the guide for wear by the close but not perfect wiggle test.
