Question smoken diesel

I have a 1987 ford f250 2 wheel drive. I just had a valve job done because i blew a head gasket. before the head blew i was blowing balack and blue smoke. I thought maybe some valve seals where bad so while the heads where out all seals were replaced and 5 guides. The heads where also resurfaced. I just got the truck all back together and im still blowing blue smoke its steady during acceleration and thins out at about 50 miles an hour but it is still there. i noticed that i have alot of oil collecting in my intake could anyone with some nolidge give me some ideas on why im blowing blue smoke and at such a steady flow . I appreciate any help i can get!!!!

You need to run some searches over in the diesel forum. You can find lots of information on smoke over there. Clip and paste your question there also.

What does the smoke smell like? Watch your fluids closely to make sure you aren't getting oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil.

Feel your radiator hose when it is cold, there should be no pressure in it.
