Notorious oil burner, 162k miles. I was pulling the plugs to do another Berryman’s piston soak and noticed some leakage, so I decided to go ahead and replace the gasket. The sections under the spark plug tubes were completely hard and shattered when I pried them out of the cover. If the pistons are as varnished up as these pix then it’s no wonder I have to soak them to keep the rings free.
