I am looking for some help if anyone has a ideal. I have a lot of oil in my drives side tail pipe. Would this be the valve seals? I know my rings are just starting to go bad but, There is a lot of oil in the tail pipe. If I run my finger in there it comes out wet with oil. I am just trying to get a ideal what the problem is. I will be pulling the motor to put in my stroker but I am not ready to do it right yet. Any help please

Thank you for the reply. I already have a 418 stroker I have had for about 6 months waiting to put it in. I just thought I would drive it alittle bit before I did the change, but it does not look like it. The only thing that is keeping me from puting in the stroker was money. Things are tight right now so I will just hold up on the change. Thanks for the help.

If you have a hoist and a set of tools you could get the motor in over next weekend. Just plug in a stock cam so you can still drive the car with out tuning and take it easy on the motor.

Thanks for the help. That sounds like a good I deal. I am not sure yet but maybe that will be what I do. Thanks guys for the help. I was working on the plugs today and it took me about 3 hours just to change them.
Thanks
