Short of pulling my head, is there anyway to test where the oil is coming f=
rom? My rear air filter has a lot of oil blow by. I should clean it every 1=
000 miles or so. So is it coming from Valve stem seals, valve guides or roc=
ker arm??? When I adjusted my valves I did not see a lot of oil pumping fro=

Portland,OR to Deadwood, SD fro Conclave and thought I should address this=
before going.
