Flat Head oil out of spark plug hole
Recently purchased my first flat head powered 46 Ford. This car was driven 1400 miles in 10 years. Now that I own it I have logged more than that in 4 months.
After Sunday's drive I noticed oil leaking out around one of the spark plug holes.
My initial thought was possibly bad piston rings.
Are there any other obvious causes for this condition?
Bad valve stem seals or valve guides?
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
