smoke after head job

[93blackthunder]

Ok just put two reman heads and all new gaskets and only ran twice. Now smoke is coming out . The intake gaskets have a block on one end and open on The other for the coolant ports. Are they supposed to be offset? Im lost as to why its smoking. Its kinda blueish so im thinking oil but why. Its alot of smoke.

Does it smoke slot at start up? If so I'd say valve seal, oil seeps down into cylinder

Seen the title thought....sure why not.

Does the engine smoke during start up, running, or both? Did it smoke before you put the other heads on?

I am having suspicions on the valve seals as well.

 

[93blackthunder]

it did not smoke on the initial startup and first drive it did not start smoking until we tighten down the valve covers and I didn't notice it until we were driving

sounds like valve seals

 

[93blackthunder]

okay will check valve seals first but also still have the question about the block for the coolant port on the intake manifold gaskets are they supposed to both be in the back or are they supposed to be offset

 

[TylerZ281500]

mine were both in back.

Ok it doesnt seen coolant is cirrculating either... new water pump and no thermistat
