It's a 200 inline 6. Also TOS. I did nothing but drop the pan and clean. Yes I did change the valve cover as well. As far as the internals go I changer nor touch anything. Never had a issue once we owned the car. Only thing I did different was spend a load of money on royal purple hps there best oil and there best royal filter which is now in a jug waiting to be taken to the recycle station. Richard you make a valid point as well regarding the pressure relief valve. Springs to wear out right. I know that it's a long shot by just replacing the oil and filter but it hasn't done it again. But for giggles I will be taking the VC off this weekend and will watch the oil drain back. After all it's all about learning right. Hope to not have to drop the OP but it is what it is. If that does happen I will be replacing the oil pump for the 80 bucks it costs and the ease of the R&R. I can't thank you all enough. Now if I could just find some of this mystery oil Richard is talking about. I still remember the look on the guys face at Napa when I asked if they carry elephant snot gasket glue. Too funny
