    I recently had a burnt valve on a 2.5l 10V. All the work has been done
    to correct this. Initially everything seemed fine. Now a week later I'm
    getting sluggish performance. There has been a concern over the exhaust.
    When a hand is placed over the exhaust pipe oil is deposited onto my
    hand. Does this suggest a piston ring problem although oil wasn't
    deposited on my hand prior to the work or could it be faulty valve seals?
    I have used more oil than I would expect in just one week's driving
    although there was previously an issue with the rocker head seal. This
    was also fixed during the major repair work to the valves and head.

    Many thanks
    Tony

    The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
    aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
    long as I live,
    nor should any American.

    My guess would be they forgot to install the valve seals on one or more
    valves, or the head gasket has a leak between an oil passage and the
    combustion chamber.

    The sluggish performance is more of a worry though, best get them to look at
    it again, they must have overlooked something or made a mistake.
