Just a question about Scott's oil leak problem. If the rings are bad as
suggested in one answer would this not be evident by blue smoke. With the
amount of
oil inside the header it would seem that smoke would almost have to occur. I
baffles me that oil inside an exhaust header would be unburnt, even with ring
problems or burnt/bent valves.
I think more investigation of an external oil leak is needed. As stated
before, oil leaks can be difficult to find and as such they create difficult
diagnosis of the problem.
Just a thought
