Loose fitting rocker arm bushings allowing too much oil into the head flooding the valve guides.

All you engine gurues...

Just started a rebuilt race engine (948 Bugeye).  We have excellent

massive smoke and a plug inspection reveals all 4 plugs are wet with oil after
shutting down. Give me your suggestions.
