Surprised by this. My manifold was bone dry on removal, which could partly explain the goodi(ish) condition of the valves.
What I don’t understand is how such a large amount of oil could accumulate in the manifold. Normally, the oil could only enter the manifold via the crankcase breather in the form of a mist, the breather only delivers this mist when the engine is running and when the engine is running the mist should be sucked straight back into the cylinder via the valves.
Perhaps a compression test on each pot when it’s all back together?
