Acually if an air leak is through the carbs of exhaust, You'd have valve
problems.

vice versa?

Thats 2 votes for valve guides.
I like this possibility. I was not too happy about the possibility of
funding a Nikasil kit.
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.
Changed oil and added a pint of detergent additive hoping that will free
up
 the rings.
If this doesn't work, I'll have to do some surgery.
Anybody else have experience with stuck oil rings ?
