Try deepening and widening the troughs and chamfer the return holes (push rod holes) in the top of the head under the rocker shaft. If it was rebuilt then there should be new valves seals but if the oil isn't draining off the top of the head fast enough it will build up and run down the valve stems, seals or not.

All you engine gurues...

Just started a rebuilt race engine (948 Bugeye).  We have excellent
compression across the board but after about 45 min running, we still have
massive smoke and a plug inspection reveals all 4 plugs are wet with oil after
shutting down. Give me your suggestions.
