by flyintiger Sat Oct 22, 2016 5:37 pmJust wanted to say thanks to everyone here who has answered my questions. I don't have my steering box back yet, but with my carb cleaned & adjusted, valves adjusted and timing set, my '67 225 is starting easily and idling smoothly.

Glad to hear it!
Your 1st post mentions burning oil and dieseling. Hopefully with the valve adjust and timing/carb adjustment, the dieseling is gone. See if you can check the dwell too. Those points do need regular replacement!
You can look into "leakdown test" to determine if the oil is rings or valve guides/seals.
I haven't used it, but Restore has worked for others I know.
Also, if it is valve guides, you might be able to get a little more life out of it by replacing the valve seals. It's labor-intensive, but the parts are cheap.
You also have to get the valve spring compressor and a air hose fitting to 'pump up' the cylinder.
