The valve covers on the LS-7 are tin, also. But I think they were more careful about the head castings in later years. Back in 1970, they didn't give much material to make a seal with.

They probably sealed ok most of the time with the old cork gaskets they used. They had silver paint on the gaskets, to help them seal.My fabulous web page

Ain't real data a great thing? We sometimes sent oil out from EPA (Ethyl did ours - they had an active lab in Detroit back then) but I haven't had any of my personal stuff done. Probably ought to, especially Mutt's Mercedes as it's kind of an unknown commodity.

I guess it's probably normal wear. I wonder if blower shavings got into the oil somehow? there was neat glittery stuff in the intake when the blower locked up.

I just take it all to the recycle place at the county dump. The glitter in the intake was from the blower, it was pretty obvious
