One old truck I bought smoked at startup, despite only 90K miles. Decided it was time for valve guide seals. When I got the valve covers off, there was probably a quart of oil on each head, pooled up waiting to drain back to the pan. No wonder the valve guide seals leaked by, they were not meant to be submerged in inches of oil! Whatever the previous owner did caused some extra gunk to form and plug the return galleys. That also explained why the oil pressure would drop off low when filled with the right amount of oil, under hard braking- the oil was all in the top end and the pan was low enough to slosh away from the pump pickup. A few cycles of cleaning agents and some hand scraping got most of it. About 35K later it did spin a bearing, not sure if the first condition was at all related, or not.
