Bill ,we actually didnt cut the trip short ,I just changed the plugs a couple of times and kept adding oil as needed .It runs fine like that for a good long time and then needs plugs again.

Sounds like you are fouling the plug

Yes ,it is fouling the plugs big time and even closing the gap on some of the plugs ,I have never seen that before .Some of the gaps were barely gapped at all afterwards and I originally had them at .045 .It is smoking pretty bad on the passenger side ,any suggestions on what to check first ? Thinking about checking compression first .May be time for a little retirement for the vert ,it most likely wont go to Ohio this year .

I'd definitely start by running a compression test on all cylinders.
Wish I had time to get up there and look/see what ya got... Taking the Elky to OH??

Im guessing valve guides if it is smoking. Compression check will tell you one way or the other.

But I can't understand why the gaps are closing up on the plugs...

Like I mentioned this morning John...check/replace the PCV valve, run a compression test, change plugs to verify using the correct ones.

Back from vaccation. Longer it has been since I did the paint the better it looks. Not that the paint got better but the fact I see the overall and am forgetting where to put the magnifying glass to see the flaws LOL.
Anyway now that I have done as much damage as I going to to the savings on vaccationing. I can finish making a order for this years junk on the chev. I got a couple more big jobs to do. Nightmare FWD engine transplant and a few smaller deals. And then I will have time to get in gear on this awhile again. I had a break from the stress of painting the jalopy. I all rested up now and ready to tackle the next projects.
