sbc smoking bad

[awdblazer]

so I went out for lunch yesterday everything was normal (engine smokes a little at start up)
went to leave after lunch and pulled out on the road and I noticed I was just smoking like crazy
I got home pulled the plugs from the drivers side and compression was between 110 and 140 psi
als
this is on the pcv side
engine is a 305 in a 1983 oldsmobile cutlass Calais
i just tested the passenger side cylinders and they are all between 110-140psi
i pulled the pcv valve and tested it and it works as it should but has excessive oil in it
i am wondering if its the cheap push in grommet/baffle in my mickey thompson valve covers?

anyone have any clues what it could be? or what else I could test?

I just changed my nice looking tall aluminum valve covers that no matter what baffle I tried I always had an oil soaked pcv. I replaced the tall valve covers with the stock valve cover stopped using oil. I would go through a quart of oil in probably six hundred miles

does you engine have any mods to like cam or intake? if so that will change the air flow of your pcv which will cause the oil consumption. but mind the fact every engine will consume oil read through this article http://mewagner.com/?page_id=1221

completely stock 305

I tried these two types baffles with no luck, the one that is in jeremy's link looks like it might work

so i just put a original valve cover on the pcv side and the smoking is a lot less
i need to block open the exhaust valve after the manifold on the passenger side as i heard that causes a lot of blow by
should i run some seafoam through the engine to maybe clear up any of the excess oil?

 

[awdblazer]

took it for a 15 min ride last night and burnt any of the excess residue off
so i guess its time to build some baffles for my mickey thompsons

most valve covers you buy are not made right for daily use when ever i buy some valve covers i at a baffle or two to mimic the factory valve cover.
