Ira,

Is it your BT7? I think your carburetors are larger, but if the hose =
from the valve cover is connected to the rear air cleaner, per the =
original routing, that is the oil source.

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.
