[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 314706, member: 277"] I believe that was Geezer's gentle way of hinting at the onset of a [I]ticker[/I] :glare: Oil in the head pipes is an early symptom of valve stem seal failure, as it progresses oil will eventually migrate out the tail pipe. A good mechanic will use a compression gauge to diagnose the problem. A great mechanic will perform a leak-down test and nail the problem. [/QUOTE]
