[Healeys] oil use

[John Spaur]

Ira,

 

Is it your BT7? I think your carburetors are larger, but if the hose from the valve cover is connected to the rear air cleaner, per the original routing, that is the oil source.

Short of pulling my head, is there anyway to test where the oil is coming from? My rear air filter has a lot of oil blow by. I should clean it every 1000 miles or so. So is it coming from Valve stem seals, valve guides or rocker arm??? When I adjusted my valves I did not see a lot of oil pumping from the rocker arms. I plan to drive my car on a  3000 trip in Sept from Portland,OR to Deadwood, SD fro Conclave and thought I should address this before going.
