its probably your lower tube seals that are bad. the top ones wont really help if replaced.

By the time you replace the gaskets..and if you replace the valves stems.. Just get another head for the time being.

The gaps are still fine, they all fire and the metal bendy thing is usually whitish for the first 1/2 to 5/6th of its length.... umm any other info neccesary to tell me whats fucked? Can it be simply leaky valve cover gaskets? I know that explains oil up top, but why are they swimming in oil below? :'(
get a valve cover gasket set including the gromets where the nuts hold the covor down and get a set of lower rocker seals (more of o-rings) the whole job including a valve adjustment should take about 60min with non power hand tools and figure 30-40$ in parts.

I ended up replacing the gaskets in the head, but first I poured gasoline all over everything and burnt all the excess oil and old gaskets away. She stopped leaking. :y

the head was off the engine right? Say this again, you poured gas and burnt the head. doesnt that warp stuff. im confused. i was not aware of this . what happened to a good ole simple green soak?

green soak costs more then unleaded ::)
and it would take a good deal more then a quick flashover to warp the head you n00b

Yes, the injectors pour gas into the combustion chamber and when ignited burns the bottom of the cylinder head, warping it past repair. :3



Good job thinking on your feet, ichi, with extra points for burning ---- at the same time. That's a bit of class. :6

By now you should know that anybody using a HMT stock photo for their avatar is a noob, regardless of join date or post count.
