Sorry I should have said Twin Cam motor as it is quite smoky and needs a freshen up so it needs to come out.

Are you running a catch can setup? Maybe that could be addressed to assist blow by before an engine rebuild

I have been told that the valve stem seals may be contributing to the smoke and that they should be replaced before pulling the motor so is there someone or a workshop in the Brisbane area that can replace them for me?

My Starion has a new owner

 

I had it on a dyno  before  the new owner picked it up for an AFR check and it was quite rich in some places and the tuner said thatthat was most likely the problem and I gave the new owner the dyno sheet with the AFR graph.
