<VV> Troubleshooting

[Western Canada CORSA]

Chris,

Your email is pretty generic.  If you want on-the-mark responses from the
crowd on <VV> you'll have to be more specific, starting with the subject
line of your email.  I'd also suggest doing one email per issue, rather than
combining a bunch of problems in one big email.

It sounds to me like you've got oil ON the exhaust manifolds, as opposed to
IN the exhaust manifolds?  Is that correct?

Regards,
Joel

I quickly wish to say thank you to all so far in helping me. I have two
jacks, Sears 4 corner type and 3 ton capacity at each point, and so I have
the heart of the car up in the air now. I have to admit, you have to very
trusting working underneath on a creeper with this configuration. I know its
safe but I'll get used to it I guess.

And so I have taken the left side exhaust off up to the manifold, I am
basically trying to rectify all the illegitimate repairs that have been made
to the car, and the way that Midas butchered the left side, I figured it
must go. So I fired it up and warmed up the engine, and went around with a
flashlight looking for suspects.

I think I have oil in the exhaust manifold, and I'm not feeling very well
anymore. I no this might be internal nastiness. And it would explain the
large amounts of blowby I have been trying to clean away. This issue just
might cause me to strip the car down and start from ground zero. What I once
thought were few grelims are begining to look like a bigger monster; and a
more expensive to boot.

Any advice on how I might verify this hunch or and encouragement would be
nice right now.
