in post #40..... that is my engine, it had been run only briefly at that time ( I mean we drug it out of the hole it was in, fired it up and drove it to a flat spot in the yard... notice there are no belts on the water pump...) I am assuming that oily greasy mess is either a valve cover gasket or from "wet stacking" as they call it even now I notice that the joint from the pipe to the exhaust manifold is pretty wet and nasty looking, is that what they are talking about on wet stack ?
