<VV> Oil in combustion chambers

[NicolCS at aol.com]

I don't see how any significant oil could enter the combustion chamber  
through the valve guides while the car is parked on a side-slope. The  guides are 
at the top of the head and not exposed to oil when the engine isn't  running. 
You mentioned that the smoke occurs on the "low" side, further  stretching the 
valve-guide theory.  There is a wild flurry of oil flying  inside the 
crankcase when the engine is running.  It stands to reason that  everything inside the 
crankcase area would be coated with oil.  In a  cylinder where the piston 
isn't at the bottom of its stroke, the cylinder wall  area below the piston would 
likely be coated in oil too.  After the engine  is stopped, this oil would 
pool at the bottom of the cylinder.  On the  uphill side, the oil would flow 
back to the crankcase, on the downhill  side...  Hmm
