i was in the process of removing my cams and i saw this. ive been using GC for the last 13,000 miles or so (3 OCI's)and mobil 1 10w-30 before that. the last time i removed my valve cover, it didnt look anything like this. it looked spotless before. ive cleaned the valve cover and the cam cover (or whatever theyre called) a while ago, when i first recieved the motor, so this is recent build-up. i think this may have to do with too much fuel in my oil causing the oil to shear. what do you guys think? im going to continue to use GC, but im currently doing a poor mans rinse by putting in chevrvon 10w-30 w/ wix 51344 filter for about 500 miles. then im going to start using GC w/ toyo roki honda filter again.
