On inspecting Trixie's Combat head, which was refreshed with valve seat grind and guide stem fitting and new intake seals about 7000 mile prior, I noticed both sides have burnt carbon flame evidence back up the intake port at the most lateral-outside of intake valves at valve seal and pocket. RH side is finger nail triangular size while the smoking LH valve is wider and spreads half way to the manifold surface. I also saw some clear green oil trail that seemed to leak out the RH guide seam into port, while head was laid on ground at a angle a few days before looking closer. I did not see oil on exterior that leaked inside from outside. RH once smokes a while but cleared up last couple 1000 to show up on LH instead.
So do others find some flash back intake valve leakage as common?
Photo's later if 'puter allows it as locks up transfers out of the blue this week and don't know what to do about it yet.
