Replaced head and valve stem oil seals and still smokes?

This goes to prove that valve stem seals do not fix loose valve guides. If your car uses that much oil I'd suspect the rings are stuck in the ring grooves in the pistons or the ring end-gaps have opened-up. The faces of the piston rings could also be worn. The piston skirts may have galled-up the cylinders so the rings no longer seal.

The only way to be sure is to do a compression test on the engine, this will show if there is wear of the piston rings. You need to do a dry test, then add a tea spoon of engine oil into each of the pistons (via the spark plugs) then re-test. If there is a major difference between the two reading, then its time for a re-build.


Just out of interest when the valve stem seals were changed did you check the valve stem guide clearances? If the valve stem guides are worn then no mater how good the stem seals there will always be oil consumption.


Ja.
Rings could be bad, Also you may have a bad leak also. A gallon of oil is a massive amount of loss. Was the valve stem oil seals put in properly?
rings are possible as stated but the pcv valve could be stuck as well,pulling oil from the crank case into the intake system
i would say you have bad rings.
