replaced valve stem oil seals ... Still smoking ! 273 HP
thanks guys !
I agree !
I'll keep an eye on the oil level.. it was going thru a quart every 150 miles before ... but I was beating on it pretty hard.
I took it out the night I put the new seals on and beat her pretty hard and the next day the oil level was still full. so....... I think it appears to be much better.
