Default burning oil!

ok. i have had some problems with my 94 gt, i had it looked at for leaking and burning oil and had the valve cover/head gaskets replaced i gave it about 2 weeks before really getting on it or anything, and now its smoking even more than before! it doesnt seem to be leaking out on the ground like before tho...
so the question is what else could it be, *block has been checked for cracks all bolts seems tight all seals now seem fine and all*

thanks

What color is the smoke? it does matter, plus it can be vlv guides or rings, a slightly bent vlv. when the heads were off you should have had them serviced!

Hey dude before you start freaking, or tearing your engine apart, check your PCV valve. I had this problem once before. I was loosing oil everywhere... Smoking, and even coming out of the tail pipes. Its a cheap part and it might just be your problem. It's worth a shot anyway. Good Luck!
