A few years ago a friend of mine had a brand new engine top to bottom .
He had new heads that he/ we did not assemble this time around.
Once we started the motor hooked up to the exh system after a break in on a stand we found that as soon as the motor started to show some water temp of 120 or more that we saw the tailpipes start to show puffs of oil smoke.
After a full day of trying to figure out why this was and even removing a valve spring to look if a seals where riding up off the stems we pulled a head off and found that the head had been assembled with seals for .372” stem valves and not the .342” valves that the heads had.
