[QUOTE="paluka21, post: 14814679, member: 20747"] I wouldn't think you have valve float, as this would be more common when running high RPM loads, or even with aftermarket cams with inadequate seat pressures for the valve springs. Given that you witnesses fluid under the car, it sounds like the mechanic may have been right. But, if it were my car, I would leak the motor down anyways just to be on the safe side. Not sure how difficult it would be to leak down this motor, but on my old 331 it was cake with the right tools. (leakdown gauge, air compressor, toilet paper, small flat head screw driver, 1/2 drive wrench and socket to turn the crank, and removal of spark plugs) [/QUOTE]
