Listers, on my trip to VTR S.E., (843 miles 1 way), I had a lot of oil on
the "Entire" undercarriage, always had some, but, never this much. I ran the
car a little above hard, which means I ran it harder than it should have
been run, I added less than 2 qts for the entire trip. my questions are,

# 1 = I have the rocker arm oiler, which I have never used until this year =
and with everything in the engine almost brand new, (compression 145, 145,
145, 155) could this cause oil blow-by. Would you recommend taking it off,
the oil pressure is the same as always 75 hot, 45/50 idle.

# 2 = are these of any real value to a very strong engine, or not. Thanks
"FT"
