Hi again car can be parked on any angle, always on the driver side. New rings, pistons, valves and seals. valve seats both inttake and exaust have been swapped. Pulled the plugs and none show more burning than another. Had a high volume oil pump then swapped it out for th old oil pump. Seams to burn less oil ( Lots of smoke idle, seams like very little when aclerating). Engine has to warm up slightly for clouds of white smoke to show up ( maybe 2 - 3 minutes). How about oil return blockage??????
