Thats 2 votes for valve guides.
I like this possibility. I was not too happy about the possibility of

At least I have another trail to go down now.
Thanks Bruce,
Pete

Another means of oil getting in there is thru the valve guides. I
hear-tell that the older guides are more prone to wear than the newer ones.

| Trying to figure out a cheap fix for the oil getting to the topside of the LH piston. Did a compression check yesterday, good news with both sides at 160 psi (cold) so I am assuming that the chrome is not flaked off and that the oil rings are the problem and are not expanding like they should.
