347 burning oil HELP!
ok, so on startup i get a bit of blue smoke but not much. but when i rev it i get quite a bit.

the specs are
342 Eagle Stroker Kit,
30lb injectors
Doug Herbert Solid Roller Cam .624/.640,
AFR 205 Heads
when i went through the motor i replaced the piston rings, but never had the heads cleaned up. im guessing its the valve seals...
i ran a compression test and had 192-195 compression in all cylinders this has me scratching my head..the car is custom tuned..had it for a day or two..romped on it...pulled good..then started running funny..had loss of power (had a SHUDDERING feel to the motor under load worse at 2000rpm) there isnt any oil on any of the plugs. they all have a nice tanish color to them. and it takes some effort to start sometimes.

what did it dyno at??
......as for the oil burn, depending on what springs are used it is often necessary to switch to a proper diameter valve seal ,with my custom cam and new springs came specific instructions to swap out the current valve seals that were on my afr heads to the viton ones supplied with my upgrade kit

hmm.....i had no idea lol..off to the shop the heads go...ps. it made 498hp@ 6800rpm and 518tq@ 3300rpm it was on a dynojet tho...drivability was AWESOME after the custom tune...but now im afraid to drive it rofl. oh well..might as well get the heads cleaned up the right way.
