The guide has an egg shape?? If so it's shot and needs to be replaced. The umbrella seal only works on a round shape, meaning it won't seal around an egg shaped guide, the valve stem will move opening up the seal. Pics would help but if the oil is excessive I would say the other guides are done too or at the max limit for play. Matt

whats the clearance on the valve rocker arms, try freeing em up a bit. Also, did you check the head when you had it apart? Valves leaking (piston will suck right through a bad valve seat), bad gasket (head). The oil comes from the bottom up through the jug, cylinder then head. All the dowels in and such, gotta be a reason it's sucking oil. Assuming the cylinder to rings and piston clearance is good. Matt
