Valve stem tend to just puff smoke on overrun/rev drop as you shift, rings would give a solid flow at most times.
Or coulr be q mistake in tye head build process, even a wrong HG or upside down (done it twice myself).Today went for a random blast in the brickwagon, been driving the misses bluemotion polo for a bit and so much nicer to have some actual grunt under the foot. Also the wagon handles so much better in every way I can think of (as much as a wagon with stock arms and non track arb will allow). Also comfort armchairs, such win.

I feel like a budget version of @Dammit.
Spending this year on the Forester has been hefty, around £4000. Includes new rear arms (upper and lower), heads off, skimmed, new updated gaskets, clutch, timing belt, water pump, cam sensor. Full 3" stainless exhaust with sports cat.
Now it looks like the bottom end has gone, blue smoke from the exhaust at all times, increasing with revs under load.
Ah fuck.
