umbrella seals

[superpieboy]

the builder of my 261 inline six used seals under the valve caps when they rebuilt the head, the problem i am having is smoke during start up and excelerating AFTER A STOP.

my old 235 engine had umbrella seals along with the valve cap seals, given they were wore out, but i heard that you could not use both! i need to do something with this fresh engine, i have put a couple thousand miles on it and still smokes at times.

once while i was investigating this smoke issue, i took the valve cover off and watched what was going on while the engine was running, it appears that oil is being slung offthe valve springs as the oil comes down from the valve cap retainer ring area, drops of oil will sling over onto the valve stem leaving me with oil burning thru the combustion chamber. what should i do? change to the umbrella seals, the block was also rebuilt with new rings ect ect.

anyone ever had this issue?

thanks
