It has been happening for some time (spark plugs flooded with oil), but I have found more and more oil around and about. The sides of the head seem to get very dirty with oil, and there is a pool of oil on top of a piece of metal. I thought it would be a gasket or o-ring somehere (did have double the amount of oil in it for 3 miles until it backfired, dont ask) so I wonder if it blew out a seal of some sort. Having it looked at when everything else is installed.
valve over seals? oil cap on?
oil cap is on, no smoke at all which is strange, are you talking about the valve guild seals? I always assumed I blew something out that night, Ill get my pics up later tonight
no, the big plastic cover that has the oil cap is the valve cover, there is a seal between that and the head to keep oil in.
might be that, will have it checked out spring break
ok i am going with the valve cover gasket then, we will see soon enough! thanks rabbit!
