Once you have the hole, pull the valve cover and make sure the guide seals are in place. Everything ok, you could run a leak down test on that hole, but most likely you will have to tear it down. Doesn't have to be oil. Did you run a pressure test on the cooling system? Bubbles in the rad (with the cap off) upon start up and does the cooling system presurize real fast upon start up?

If not, look for any with signs of oil on them and replace them. Run the motor for a while and recheck them to see if you still have a problem. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky
