SOURCE: 1993 TOYOTA TERCEL 1500cc Valve Seals Replaced now smokes much worse

You either have had the wrong valve seals installed, they are physically missing, or the valves are incorrect (too loose in the guides/stem too thin). The rocker arm seals will not contribute to your issue. If it did not have the oil smoke before you took the head off, the issue is with whatever the machine shop did. Valve seals have to fit TIGHT, or oil will go down the valve stem into the intake.
Take the head back to the machine shop & tell them to fix it. For free.

SOURCE: oil leak after radiator change

The radiator has a transmission and engine oil cooler lines to it too. One of the oil lines are leaking, if you know which one that's have the battle. I believe the transmission line is on the passenger sides and the oil cooler line is on the drivers side. Look at where the lines connect to the radiator and see if there is signs of the leak. You may need to spray it down with brake cleaner if you not sure if it's a new leak or old leak from the accident. Good luck and hope this helps. And what do you mean by rear case gasket?? You mean the gasket that connects the transmission to the transfer case, or the rear O ring yoke gasket.

Oil is getting n my radiator it is a cream color & thick like a gravy, my truck hasnt been running hot until a few weeks ago due 2 it getting so thick and wont rotate, everyone says its a cracked

Sounds like you either have a cracked cylinder head, or more likely, a blown head gasket. Get the gasket changed, and have the head inspected and tested while it's off.

White foam i header tank

I can't say without looking at it in person.
A mechanic would check the radiator for excessive pressure and contaminated coolant. Its possible a cyl head is cracked and still leaking.

2005 chevrolet z-71 Truck overheating changed water pump and thermostat

Check for any signs of water leaking to the ground and if you do locate a leak follow the path. There could be a leak from the drain plugs, water jacket freeze plugs, water pump seals, the coolent temp switch, damaged gaskets, or a small crack somewhere in the coolent system. Check all hoses to see if they leaking or loose at clamps and connections. And if you cannot find a leak anywhere. check the radiater core or header tank, if the leak is in the radiater you should remove and replace, or have professionally repaired. Still can't find any leak. Ckeck your oil for water or foam. And if you do see that it is here, it's most likely a head gasket leak.

Engine oil getting into the radiater,any suggestions

Hi
Check your oil fill cap on the bottom for any signs of white milky looking oil, pull your dipstick and do the same. If yes, then you most likely have an intake manifold gasket leak, very, very common on these cars. Solution is to replace intake manifold gaskets, and check for signs of cracked intake while apart.

Has anyone ever had water in the reservoir of an radiator mixed with oil in a 4 cyclinder 1998 saturn engine I had the head gasket changed and everything flushed but now I see water in the radiator.

Oil in the cooling system can come from two places. First is the head gasket or from a crack in the cylinder head. Could be residue from previous failure...If so, cleaning it out should get rid of it.
If your engine oil has any coolant in it or you are overheating or loosing coolant, though the job was just done, head could be cracked or warped. Second place oil can come from is the transmission cooler in the radiator. (automatic trans only) If it fails trans fluid (oil) will get into the cooling system. That oil is red in color and usually easily identified. Only way to fix that is to replace the radiator, but be sure it's that before buying one.

OVERHEATING

Normally it is the head gasket not the manifold gasket that causes overheating, it does it by cracking and allowing water from the coolant system to be blown out of the exhust or get dumped into the sump.

When you start the car is there water coming out of the muffler

If not then dip the oil , is it like a thick chocolate milk shake

Final check is to take the cap off the radiator or header tank and see if there are lots of air bubbles coming up.

Any of the above means a shot head gasket

2002 lancer started to overheat.

While the car is cold, take off the radiator cap. If you cannot see coolant, fill the radiator with coolant until you can see coolant standing in the radiator. Start the car, and go look at the coolant. Can you see a steady stream of air bubbles in it? If you can, the air is coming into your cooling system (and coolant is exiting) from a leaking head gasket, cracked head, or cracked block. Did you remove the head when you installed your headers? If so, the gasket was probably improperly replaced. Are you getting white smoke from the exhaust? That's an indicator of water in the exhaust.
