what would cause number 2 cylinder to fill with oil over night not a lot but just enough to make it smoke for a mile and the plug is oil fouled as well. all other holes are clean and spark plugs are the color the should be.... compression is 125 for all 4 holes I'm stumped my brother says valve guides but i dunno plus, if you pull it up over 4k it smokes like a chimney to

 

oh its a ea81 with FI swap if it matters

Weren't you having PCV issues a little while ago? The line routing and the way the car was parked are the first two things I'd look at.

It doesn't take much oil to make a lot of smoke, especially once raw oil gets into the exhaust.

i can park it anywhere and it will do it if it sits for an extended amount of time i replaced the pcv with a fram which is probably a no no but its only getting oil in the number 2 hole

Check the PCV hose on that side to see if its plugged up.

Run a wire or coat hanger thru it and see if a bunch of carbon, etc comes out.

And the next time I see you, I'm going to kick you in the shin for putting Fram parts on your car :horse:

pcv system is clear although there was oil in all of the lines

 

and also does anyone in the Seattle area wanna adjust my hydro lifter setup after redoing the head gaskets they've been loud but i don't understand how to adjust em hah...

The valve oiler on that cylinder must be sticking after it sits and free's up after you run it. Maybe its from the fart can you put on it.

 

 

Jacob remember when we were lapping the valves in, and the valves rocked in the guides. We can pull the heads back off I have the valve grinder and guide knurlers now.

I suggest you replace the PCV valve again with a OEM one. Check the air filter to see if it is getting oil on it. If so the PCV valve is the problem most likely.
