<p>It's (another) long shot, but the vent 'T' on the valve cover
should have a baffle spot-welded on the inside bottom. If that
was missing I think you could suck up a lot of oil even if the
rockers weren't spewing.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<br clear="all">
