360 build.

Slightly off topic but to save starting another thread I thought maybe you knowledgeable guys might offer some light.

The 340 thats burning smoke had new Valve Stem Oil Seals installed by myself, but in my infinite wisdom I never checked for valve play. Im burning Oil on Cylinders #1 and #7. Im getting 115psi on all cylinders on that bank and Im getting 40 psi oil pressure from cold and about 25psi at 1500rpm driving when warm. But Im getting a good amount of blue smoke when idling and under acceleration and more so with hard acceleration.


Could this be the Valves/Valve Stem seals or most likely the Rings? If there's a chance its the Heads I'd whip them off and put on a set of freshly built heads with the 2.02" Valves.

There is a definite ridge at the top of the cylinders, I remember that from when I had had the heads off before. (due to a burned out valve. But that was on all the cylinders and only 2 seem to be burning oil.

Cheers,

Andy
