Installed valve seals in the B20E 120-130

Richard.. aka anarchist NS... and I installed the valve seals in the B20E this afternoon .... found 4 broken valve springs which we replaced ... then I set the valves this time at .018" as recommended for the B20E and D cam.... it is quieter ... however, all you guys who told me that blue smoke on decelleration and on the shifts .... well, seems you may have been mistaken .... new seals and all valve springs in one piece , and she is still doing it .... Hmmmmm perhaps we are looking at gummed up oil control rings ??? Wonder if an engine flush might get them loosened up .... or perhaps a long distance Italian tune-up ..... ????? Any suggestions ?

Another question .... what do you use for the fluid in the hydraulic clutch linkage ? automatic tranny fluid or brake fluid ?
