Guys:

I really appreciate all of your input to my original question about the smoking...I am more assured that the cause is the oil coming through the guides of the intake valves.

Before I go for the expensive solution of having the head off to remove the old valve guides, replace them with new ones with machining to accept stem seal caps (any specific caps to fit 11/32 valve stems?), I will opt for a MUCH cheaper solution of trying heavier oil at the next change. 10w 30 may just be too thin to use in such hot weather in Florida. Maybe 10w40 would solve the problem!

Will update...thanks again.

-DS
