You'll have to pull the heads and have the guides and seals replaced. Bad seals are usually an indication that the guides have worn as well.
Not usually. If the rocker arms are loose because the cam lobes are worn down, that could be an indication of a worn engine, which might have bad rings or loose valve guides, which would cause an engine to smoke.
Either worn valve guides, worn rings, or a holed or cracked piston.
This could be caused by a clogged PCV valve, worn internal seals, or worn valve guides. A clogged PCV valve will pressurize the engine internally, which force oil past important seals into the exhaust stream. Likewise with worn seals, oil simply leaks out. Worn valve guides makes it possible for oil to seep down the exhaust valve into the exhaust stream.
Worn valve guides? New answer : Worn valve guides WILL cause some what of a rough idle and engine would smoke at all times. If engine smokes at start up only and then quites then your problem would be the VALVE SEALS.
oil consumption, tapping noise (because it is loose), burned valves or valve breakage
The typical causes are worn piston rings or valve guides.
It can be a number of things, but the most common problem is worn valve guides.
Worn rings or valve guides (more likely) Check compression.
burning oil or fuel.gm jim White smoke can be a indication of a leaking head gasket. Keep a eye on the coolant levels just in case. Gray smoke at start-up is a indication of worn valve guides.
My guess would be bad valve seals and/or worn valve guides.
Never heard of that happening, but if it did it would indicate very badly worn valve-guides.
