Check out this video and tell me what you think.

What is causing the smoke on the deceleration? Could this possibly be worn valve guides?

They are Brodix heads with less than 700 miles on them.

The car was idling for 5min. As you can see it was not smoking much at all on idle but after acceleration, excessive smoke started to come out of the exhaust.

-Thanks

Pull your plugs and look at them. I have Brodix RR on my 427 that I had all the intake valve guides go bad. The plugs were oily and had alot of carbon build up on them.
Mine was due to improper valve train geometry. The rocker was riding front to rear on the valve stem.

My valve guides need to get re-done as well. I pulled the PCV and placed a breather on mine and the smoke calm down quite a bit. 700 Miles on my motor (049 Heads re-done with motor).


FIrst half of Video shows before and then after, Definitely an improvement without PCV
