engine ran hot and blew head gasket replaced both head gaskets while it was down. Now it's smoking getting oil in cly. If heads didn't seal can that cause this problem

did you use new hardware?if you used old the threads are streched and you aren't getting the proper torque.also check the heads for warpage with a metal straight edge across and diagonally looking for air gaps.

If you live in South Florida I'm trying to give away the stock E7 heads.

Sounds lime they weren't seated properly. They heads need to be torqued down in three torque sequence and there is holy sequence to follow too. If all isn't done correctly you will have issues.

might be the intake manifold not sealing tight and sucking oil into a cylinder via a bad intake gasket port seal. if you are using printoseal gaskets there is a good chance its the intake.
