8 hours of motor time ago, this head was perfectly clean. Not a trace of carbon. (glass beaded)
The lower right exhaust valve is the one to blame. I tried to take a pic of inside of the exhaust port, but there wasnt enough light.

Looks like oil getting past the seal and guide. Are you sure the left one isn't leaking too?
P.S. Don't glass bead interior surfaces of your engine unless you have a way of removing the embedded glass particles.

It doesnt look like its leaking at all. Im dropping the head off at the dealer after lunch and Im getting ALL the seals replaced.

it just seems that you have done the hardest part and are taking it to them to replace a valve seal which takes about 30 secs to replace.
it wasn't a insult, i was just curious. are they doing machining or something while its there?

Im not too familiar with disasembling the valves and such. So, I took it to them and said "fix this and clean it up." lol
Im gonna pick it up tomorrow, whatever they did, its gonna cost me 109 clams.
