Smoke Generator Recommendations

Can anyone recommend a smoke generator? External air compressor or internal fan forced? After working on the valves/guides/seats I'm getting 75% loss with leakdown gauge.

Valve tappet clearance OK? Rings?

Loss past rings is normal, to an extent.

Amazon has some smoke generators starting at less than $100 and then go way up in price but there are some YouTube videos on making very inexpensive testers that sounds more like what you are looking for. Here is one:youtu.be/L9CDZ9lu6Rs?si=4-IdGKTvrGayjU73 that looks easy to make and might do the job. When I play that video, on the right of the video section the page has videos from several other people who have posted on how they made different ones.

I checked the clearances twice. I had an average of about 125 before I started except for one that would intermittently read 60.
