So i bought an 86 trans am, and was told its suppose to be a 350 swap with a 383 eagle stroker kit, but I have no way of confirming this. Getting to the point, when i drive the car normally, it drives fine, no smoke everything sounds fine, but when i give it some gas, it burns oil.

I get this oil build up on my valve covers aswell


Picture for reference

This is the engine aswell

 

It looks like valve cover gaskets leaking, my old 305 burned about a quart of oil a week head seals went and smoked like a freight. It got so embarressing i had to spot driving it, and do a swap.

 

Doesnt smoke all the time, just once in awhile. I hope is a valve cover gasket and not somthing expensive

 

Valve cover gaskets are about 50$ tops for the good ones. It would be money well spent if that's all it is.

 

I have a 1988 firebird formula 305 and it smokes when i start it and when i give it gas. what could that be?

 

Also I have bad news, looks like i got coolant that is disappearing. My oil is not milky though so idk where it would be going
