It's a lot of oil smoke...... And after 500 miles on engine, it was beginning to sometimes smokes at idle also. And I'm concerned about the marks on bore (see photo).

The F head had a valve job around 30,000 miles ago; new guides, new seals, among other things. There was never any smoking while it was on the B18 block.

I eventually got a hold of a B20B block, which was torn down and rebuilt last year. Shop decided to mess around with the head at that time, and engine has been smoking ever since.
