<VV> Oily Exhaust....

[Jeff Wilson]

Eek- I started up my rarely-driven 65, engine was running
kinda rough, and the pass side exhaust only (I have duals) 
seemed to be smoking quite a bit.

Just for a test I tried holding my hand behind each exhaust
pipe.

Drivers side exhaust was decidedly warmer- leading me to 
suspect one of more cylinders on the pass side were not firing.

The worse news- my hand was covered with oil after just a few 
seconds behind the mis-firing pass exhaust.

What would cause so much oil in the exhaust?
Bad ring(s)?  Could that be fouling a plug?
Would just running the engine longer/more 'free up' the rings?
