My best guess is the sudden jump, forced the cam against the valves to quickly and crushed the guides and/or seals causing the oil leak.
Trust me.. I have been through the DOHC engine.. rebuilt the head and replaced all the valve guides and even the exaust valves.. what you stated above is physically impossible. But I think I will call it quits now.. ;) No offense.. but I think I finally understand that old saying of "You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink" LOL Best of luck.

Oh I believe you Tunes. At this point it doesn't really matter unless someone is a miracle worker. If it's the rings, then that was the oddest spark-plug change I've ever made. Either way, I think I better start looking for an engine.

I really do appreciate the advice. I'm going to go drink now before I start looking for engines. Maybe I'll feel better after a few glasses of wine.

Thanks again.
