So I have a 94 Gt 5.0 and there’s a lot of smoke coming from the dipstick when you give it throttle. I replaced the valve cover gaskets but maybe thinking it’s guide seals due to the fact of the amount of burning oil coming from the pipes. There isn’t water in the oil at all but if anyone has advice I’d appreciate it.

Is your Pcv system intact and functioning?

Like mentioned, compression test. Normally smoke or even the dipstick pushing up is blow by. If the PCV system is hooked up properly a compression test will tell the tail.
