My 74 TR6 smokes when I am on the freeway. Generally, it doesn't smoke at
idle or when I am cruising. It mostly smokes during deceleration from a high
speed. My mechanic told me it is y valve guide seals of the valve guides
themselves. However, he said I can correct it by changing just the seals.

My question now is does anybody support this theory? Will changing the seals
cure the smoke? Should I also change the valve guides? Or should I just
simply rebuild the head.

All answers will be greatly appreciated
