I see nothing vague here and don't intend to get into petty arguments. If that was not what you meant or did, that's fine with me...

Don,
I precisely stated NO SUCH THING ABOUT MY TOP END EVER!!
You misquoted me, which is not a surprise. That "quote" was taken OUT OF CONTEXT and was in direct relation to the
photo of my valve cover NOT the
photo of the top end and you know it.
Post In Question For Mis-Quote (LINK)
Admins/mods based on the nature of this and the false accusations insinuating that I am lying I would ask that this external link be allowed to stand. (Yes I know the policy and it is why I am asking permission)
This is the photo Don took my "quote from" NOT the photo of the top end posted earlier in this thread.
Here is Don's quote of me which is TOTALLY unrelated to the top end photos earlier in this thread:
"The only reason I cleaned out the oil is that I will be re-painting the exterior."
Here's the full context of what I said in relation to the
VALVE COVER photo above.

Plenty of oil is reaching the top of the head, I know this because I inadvertently left my oil cap off last summer during an oil change and it took four hours to clean up... Plus remember this engine has been sitting since Nov so any thick oil drained back and only a thin film was left. I hardly doubt it would have reached 2800+ hours with no oil circulation..

Don, taking a quote from me based on a totally different photo, and then applying it to the top end photos posted here, and even then ignoring the sentence that preceded it, which is also fairly important to the photo NOT in question of the valve cover, is grasping at best.
I am sure I will see no apology from you yet my offer still stands for you to drive to
Maine with your
camera and I will remove the five bolts and one hose so you can see for yourself.
Amazing......
