Two heads, one block
Hey, new to the forum found a lot of good information on here, my problem is I bought a 95 f350 and I'm getting blue smoke out of the drivers side exhaust (true duals) I've replaced the pcv valve, changed the oil and added a quart of Lucas, compression is good 150 150 140 130, just replaced the valve seals today and still smoking. Got to doing some looking and I have an f3te head on the drivers side and an e7te on the passengers, can this be causing any problems or hurting anything? Any help would be appreciated

A new seal won't stop a worn valve guide from leaking oil into a cylinder. It might slow it down for awhile, but it won't cure the situation. A worn valve guide allows the valve to wobble as it goes up and down. When it wobbles it pushes unequally on the sides of the seal. That allows a little oil to go down past the seal. Since your compression is pretty good, your bottom end is probably fine, but I think you have a worn valve guide.

Thanks for the replies, ended up coming across a wrecked 96 e350 motor home w 80,000 miles, matching heads, and Saginaw power steering pump. In the process of swapping engines. Got real excited when I looked under the dash and it had an OBD II port, however it doesn't have mass air flow.. So what's the OBD II for?
