Hey guys.
I had stubborn valve cover gasket that would leak until engine came to operating temp than it would seal up. Amount wasn't bad but it was enough to bother me. I decided while I am taking the cover off may as well check my valve clearance and while doing that I noticed black paint inside of the head missing at few spots...
After all was done I decided to change engine oil and guess what I found in the oil!? Did any of you experience this, my main concern is that paint clogging oil pickup screen and killing my engine!?
People who experienced this what was your course of action to protect these old engines from this potentially disastrous situation?
