When you get a chance I would pull the y pipe off and see if it’s oily inside, it’s probably valve guides.
I've never messed with the exhaust on this thing, how hard is it to pull that Y-pipe and, more importantly, how hard is it to reinstall for a mechanically challenged derp like me? LOL

I was really, really hoping this wasn't gonna be a valve issue, that's a nightmare scenario to me. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to sell IDI heads all freshened up and ready to go? If my engine has to come out, I won't be doing the work, so I want to make it easier for whoever ends up working on this thing.
