Hi Walt,
Yes, oil (and gas - #1 injector problem) came out the single exhaust outlet of the muffler when we started the car.
Once we removed the muffler, the oil was only on the 4,5,6 cylinder side of the engine inside the header.
Interesting though that the car was about six quarts low on oil when I got it.
Do you think that much oil could simply have drained passed the rings and or valves/valve guides?
We were only guessing at first that the engine may have cracked or thrown a ring from a cylinder causing the oil out the tail pipe. This was after #1 injector flooded the #1 cylinder and caused a hydro lock.
We are planning on pulling the motor apart at this time to look into the condition of all the rings, cylinders and valve assemblies. Any thoughts on that being unnecessary?
Thanks for your input and look forward to further discussion on this,
Gibran
