OK, so I think the overheating is much better. Granted I have not done the road test but it was at idle in over 100 degrees for 45 minutes and it never got hot enough to open the thermostat. I opened the holes on the distribution tubes and opened the holes on the head gasket. I placed a working 180 stat from a parts car I had. The gauge would show almost to the white zone but the thermostat did not open and the stat housing never was above 165. I cannot road test it right now since the gearbox is half out to work on it.
New problem. It smokes on hard rpm increase. I do not believe it did this before. It does not smoke at idle or at constant high rpms only when there is a burst of rpms.
I replaced the stem seals. It idles at 800 and timed at ten. It does do a brief wobble once in a while when running.
When I took the head off two of the cylinders filled with antifreeze. I quickly drained and dried them out and rubbed a little oil in the cylinder to keep from problems. I did ream out the head gasket water holes a little to allow more water flow but the gasket was sealed with copper sealant. The cylinder walls are very smooth and did not fell like there was a ring problem.
How long would the residual antifreeze and oil burn until it was gone? I did not recheck the valve lash the second time can this cause it? Engines have always been my problem.
Learn by doing and mistakes.
