Beginning April 1st, and running through April 30th, there is a new 2024 BMW MOA Election discussion area within The Club section of the forum. Within this forum area is also a sticky post that provides the ground rules for participating in the Election forum area. Also, the candidates statements are provided. Please read before joining the conversation, because the rules are very specific to maintain civility.
Looks like a pre-'75 head? If those are exposed stud tubes that I see through the head fins, you may have oil leaking around the tubes, between the steel tube and the aluminum. The O-rings under the rocker tower sleeves are supposed to control that. BMW no longer sells the right O-ring for that spot, but I can dig the dimensions out if that is the problem.
You need to pull off one rocker at a time, slide the sleeves off the towers, and see if you have O-rings under there.
