Rough Idle when warm

Hey guys I have a 95 superduty I just recently swapped a boneyard engine into the engine drives out great plenty of power no smoke whatsoever but the problem I'm having is when the engine gets up to temp it starts to idle real rough shakes the truck abit even its kinda like a camed engine would idle only does this when warmed up when the engine is cold it idles flawlessly I've already changed out the cps and icp planning to swap out the ipr next in an atempt to remedy the idle one thing I did notice that may or maynot be related is when i installed the engine and changed the fuel filter there was oil mixed with the fuel in the fuel bowl so I'm thinking this truck may also need injector o-rings anyone have any ideas I may have missed???

Injector o rings will cause this from what I've been told. Mine does the same thing.

I put some Lucas oilstablizer in and it helped a little too.

I also have quite a bit of lope at Idle, even after warm up... even more so perhaps. So, I'm going to start with the IPR valve seal kit, I've found this one online:

7.3L Powerstroke IPR Valve Reseal Kit

Is this what I want? Is it the same kit for all 7.3L PS engines? I have a 95.

Thanks for the part number.
I just called the dealer in Belgrade, and they sell the kit for $17.99. He's shipping it to me in Helena for another $5. So, it saved me a few bucks and I supported my local dealer

Hmmm... what color smoke? I've noticed I end up with a decent amount of white smoke at start up. I just kinda figured it was normal. The truck does have 189K miles, and I'd wager that the IPR has never been replaced.

What does an IPR cost?
