Either it is a seal install error and you did it wrong again or your guides are leaking with the new valves in them. Did you get the guides checked or replaced?

that wat i think it has something to do with the valves becuz i ran this head b4 stock never smoked built the head changed valve to std flat an now it just smokes valve seales replaced 3 times now an everytime same smoke amount also is alot worst on start up an cold the guides the machine shop told me were fine but they caint possibly b fine
Should be able to tell if the seals are bad by pulling the IM, you have to pull it anyway to pull the head, if they look good I would check both the head and deck for "flatness". 94
