Re: smoke coming from valve cover breather
I would say worn valve guide. One thing to think of. When it warms up does it go away? Because If you let your engine sit a while the valve guides get dry and it tends to blow by some oil until it lubs Mine smokes a bit now to b/c it has been sitting.

nah it seems to get a little worse once it warms up,but it does sit alot,so would i have to have new valve guides pressed into the heads?
