i pulled the plugs again on my 383 with only 100miles on it. i drive it nice all the time and it still has oil on it. the shop that built the motor did a compression test and it showed up good. do i need to give it time for the rings to settle. they are chromoly rings and i heard they have a little blow by for the brake in period. any advise

Give it some time...on the new rebuild, were the heads and guides redone?

------------------
383 Speed-O-Motive stroker kit with Holley 750DP, RPM intake,MSD6a box,World Products Sportsman II heads, ported and polished with 2.02/1.60 valves,64cc,TRW forged pistons with 10.7:1 compression, Comp Xtreme 284 cam,Crane pushrods, Comp Cam 1.6 full roller rockers,ATI damper, 40 series Flowmasters, 4.11 gears with TH350 and Hughes 3000 stall.

heads were redone had valve job and everything but when the put the cam in the did it wrong and i think i bent 8 valves. i didn't have to pay for the head work so i didn't get to mad.

Valve seals?
