  Man, I can't wait to hear the theories on this one!!

  Larry   sandiego16V
    I have my intake off and I was looking at the intake valves =
yesterday and noticed that the right-hand (driver's side) valve in each =
port is way dirty with some kind of baked-on oil or something.  The =
passenger side valves are all clean as a whistle.  Any idea what could =
cause this?  My first thought is valve seals, but it doesn't make sense =
that all the ones on the driver's side of each port would be bad.  The =
engine ran decent when I took it off the road, so I don't think anything =
major is wrong with it, I'm just curious what could cause this...

    Thanks...
