    The heads are untouched. Well tomorrow I am going to replace the intake manifold gaskets and test compression on all cylinders and do a leakdown test, and see what happens...

    I replaced the intake gaskets and did it right this time for sure. Today I seafoamed it and now it barely idles, still smokes tons, and I have low oil pressure

    Oil is entering the combustion chambers from somewhere. If it didn't smoke before the seal swap then I'm 99% sure you need to redo the seals. It sucks but that has to be the problem.

    Yepp sounds like the seals once again And the low oil pressure could be from the low/bad idle..

    Well at idle ~20 and 70mph at 1800rpms it was ~38 which was already lower than normal. But now at idle it is ~10 and 70@ 1800 its about 25.
