Ref your most recent, Bob-

Guy removed his valve cover but kept
the gasket on the block as a "dam" so
that accumulated oil wouldn't run off
the head, while he ran the engine at
about 1200 revs.

When oil being delivered to the head
(through rocker bushes) began to exceed
the amount the oil return passages could
handle and began overflowing the afore-
mentioned "dam", he realized there was
too much oil getting to the head through
worn rocker shaft/bushings and that's
where all the "blue smoke" was coming
from. 

So that's what you might be looking for,
Robert.

Oh, oh! Time for Seinfeld, Gotta watch
Kramer, George and, of course, Neuman!
