oil on one valve V6 estate
« on: 10 June 2008, 21:47:30 »
I'm following the cam cover gasket change guide, got to the point of taking off the fuel rail and thought I would have a peer down at the valves, one valve (in closed position) has a little puddle of oil whilst all the others that are closed are dry is this normal or is it time to worry ?   :o She has been standing for 2 years and apart from oil in the spark plug wells she was running fine before I took her off the road, also there is no burnt oil residue on the valve. Any body have any thoughts ?  :-?

It will probably burn off, when you start the car.

Is it just clean oil or burned? Might be stem seal but there would be clean oil.
