I had a problem with the new 455 I'm running started puffing oil after long spells of idling. As the heads have tubes in pushrods and head bolt was worried they could be leaking. Put sealer under head bolt washers, still did it. Pulled all intake rocker studs off and used sealer and it seems fixed.
Edelbrock doesn't say to do this and I haven't heard anyone else say to do it, but it was a problem on my motor. All the Chevy heads that have a rocker hole in the intake port tell you to put sealer on them. Amazing just that small clearance can suck oil.
