Update On My Valve Issues
Since this would probably get lost in the old thread I figured I would start another. 
Anyway Brandon from T E A found that all of the valve seals had torn away and were sitting in the top of the valve springs !
So basically I had no valve seals in place which has probably worn the valve guides. He did say the color of the valves were fine and did not see any other problems.
Now they are getting ready to go get all shiny for the new combo.
More news as it comes up.

See, I told you there wasn't anything wrong with the color of your valves. Every once in a while I get things right.

None at all.
I watched all of the videos of my car at the various Track Days and no smoke in those pictures either.
Anyone know if this could have robbed some horsepower ? Because I dropped off 25 at the wheels the last time I checked which was right before the last Track Day.

Zippo, nada, nothing. That is the weird part. Maybe synthetic does not smoke as much, who knows. The inside of all the exhaust ports are caked with oil.
