Oil on plugs. Pic included.
Trying to stop my oil consumption. Truck has used oil since i installed it from the junkyard. Don't see it leaking anywhere when its parked or running. Pulled plug number 3 and found this on the threads.
Did a compression test on that cylinder.
Put new valve seals in and it cleared up the visual smoke. Any ideas on this. Its probably using 2 quarts every 600miles. Been beating the snot out of it. Crankcase is vented and intake is blocked off.

Got my plugs out. Planned on switching to br7s and doing a compression test. Well, my compression gauge took a crap, so I'll have to get another one tomorrow. Here a some pics of the plugs. Basically, there is oil on all of them.

Cyl 1,3,5,7
Cyl 8 at the top right, cyl 1 at bottom left. In order

Makes me think its coming through the I take now. I'm running 2 of the same valve covers with the oil fill caps. One cap is vented. Both of the hoses are teed together on the valve covers. Intake is blocked off at the throttle body vacuum port and at the pcv port on the intake. Anything I'm missing? Don't really think its the turbo seals. It burned about the same amount of oil n/a and I had some of the intake piping out around 2 weeks ago. All looked very clean.

What gap are you running? You might want to cool down a heat range. The black dot on the porcelain of the #1 plug in the last pic can be an indication of too hot of a spark plug. Do you have flow matched injectors? Make sure you retighten the plugs after a couple heat cycles.
