I had new rings and wrist pin put in my 84 honda 200es the stock head was shot as well, Cam was grinded down, everything looked bad. So we put on a head that looked to be in way better condition but came off a bike that sat for a long time I have brand new valve seals but forgot to put them in. At first i had some smoke on startup and a little puff here and there, but now it smokes like a mosquito truck, If i ride around my house it looks like its on fire. It has began to develop a clatter in the head at idle, The compression is a solid 135 every time i test it. I figured the smoke would go away after i ran it for a few months but it seems to be getting worse. The power is really good no power or compression loss since the new rings. 135 every time i test. Could the valve guide seals cause the smoke and clatter (sounds like a cars valve clatter)
