Or maybe I'll just ignore it until I blow up, rebuild or swap out the engine. lol
You cannot look through the intake valves when the car is off, they'll all be closed
Thanks VVEL!

I just meant the valve stems and the backs of the valves. If it is sucking substantial amounts of oil, I would think there would be evidence of it there? I dunno!

Makes sense now, and I guess if there is enough oil being burnt or dripping down, you might see darker valves, but not sure
