I'll be on the edge of my seat until the oil consumption results are in. This is really exciting!

This is a very important thread. The results will be very welcome and
then we will have to explain what is going on. If the pressure in the Valve Cover is reduced by the Seals an explanation will be required. The Seal is more likely to prevent ingress of oil and some pressure into the Stem Guide interstitial zone but I am not as clear as to how it can hold pressure back from entering the Valve Cover. Any ideas??
