Hi again guys,

Well today I was going to get to the bottom of my engine problems, first i did a compression test, it went as follows

1- 120, 2- 120, 3- 90, 4, 115

5- 115, 6- 120, 7- 90, 8- 115

ok, so I found this acceptable. I then decided to cure my excessive blue smoke (from one side) I was going to replace the guide seals. I removed the valve covers and found the right side not getting oil to the rockers.Removed the rocker shaft and cranked it, nothing.Is it common on a Y?? Possibly a poor oil pump? Ordered a pump and oil pan gasket, figured i would change the pump and check out the lower end while i was down there. Hopefully since the right head is the furthest from the pump this will cure the problem?

ps: Where can I get valve cover grommets to go under the retaining nuts?

 I'm on a Lowwwww Budget
