You guys will like this.
My brother bought a 428 from me last year. I had gone through the engine completely and it was ready to run minus carb. ignition and valve covers.
He finaly got the engine up and running. After break in changed the oil and noticed it was a bit shiny, not unheard of after break in.2nd oil change and oil still shiny. I drive to Denver to take a look. Two more oil changes on short drives and still shiny.
In fear of a bearing going out I opt for engine removal and inspection. Go down days off next weekend and spend 8 hours removing 428 from cramped 67 mustang.
I get the engine out and on the stand. I decide to start tear down to inspect. 1st off valve covers. OK set of gt chromes. On the inside of the valve cover I notice a shiny slimy substance?
I tell my brother to look at this and he says with out blinking... "Yah, I bought those at a garage sale for $5, but the inside was a little rusty so I painted them with some chrome paint so they'd look good."
Mystery solved no need to go any further I've found the shiny metalic oil.
Just thought you would all get a kick out of that.
Kevin if you read this, I'm sorry but it was too good to let go.
