>       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...
