excessive oil was created by rob220
motor had been started one time in 2yrs. I finally got the motor started today. I started the motor maybe 5 times today and I noticed that it was oil coming from the top of the head. the oil seemed to be coming from 4 outside screws that bolt the head down. I took off the cam cover and noticed that #4 intake side seemed kinda dry but did have some oil in it. the rest seemed to have excessive oil. what could be the cause of this.


it really seemed to be way more oil than I have ever seen the head get

if you had it on the side stand, then #4 is gonna have less oil than #1

It was on the side stand but not the whole time. oil was coming out of the screws on the right side top of the head even when it was on the kickstand. I honestly dont remember my engine having this much oil in the top. its kinda unusual. I wish I had my camera so I could take a picture cause its kinda hard to explain.
