Here's the story, I put the motor together a few years ago. Car ran great with no smoking. It started eating valve springs and rattling. Pulled the motor, figured out the rattling (loose converter bolts), and had the heads done (decked, p/p, valve job, seats, all new guides, seals, pushrod tubes, & the proper springs). We put the motor back together and back in the car. Again, car runs great, but smokes on start up and when the throttle is let out. So we start checking things out. There's no pcv valve, no oil in the intercooler piping or turbo inlet or outlets (so it's not coming from those places), & heads were just gone through (we're asuming the reputible shop did them correctly). So maybe we had a int man gasket not seal up properly? We checked the mating surfaces & everything lines up true. So we changed the gaskets last night, making sure the they were in correct place. Let the car sit over night so the silicone can cure. Start the car today & drive around a bit, no dice, it still smokes. So the question is, are missing something, or do we need to take the heads back to the shop?
Sorry this was a little long, but wanted to give all the info I could up front.
