<VV> Oil in combustion chamber

[N. Joseph Potts]

Well . . . let's see. If I park my car with a "list" (tilt to left or right)
and then start it up after a few hours, I get a lot of smoke that I
attribute to oil in the combustion chambers (on the downhill side).
     How did/does the oil get into the combustion chambers? Or is it not oil
in the combustion chambers?
     The valve guides, I believe, are horizontal on a Corvair engine.

Let me be the first to disagree here.  The valve guides go UPHILL to the
combustion chamber so no oil is going to "drain" into the chamber! <GGGGGGG>
