Re: Help

You really may not feel any oil up that far. Can you shine a light into it? Unless they were bone dry, I wouldn't worry about it. The rocker arms would be clacking loudly and you'd also have appreciable lifter noise. You could always take off a valve cover if you care to, just going to cost you the price of the gasket and some time.
