[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3056557, member: 15054"] Looks like possibly worn valve guides or guide seals. A stuck PCV valve on certain engines will suck oil right off the oiling rocker arms. Most factory rocker covers have baffles in them to prevent this. I have seen clogged drain back holes in the heads pool oil in the valvetrain area and suck a lot of oil. Those 3.8 V6 engines of Ford make like to blow /scrub head gaskets I usually see head gasket failure between 75,000 and 145,000 miles.. sometimes you get a keeper that makes it past 200,000 miles. If it was mine..I would part with it. I do not like V6 engines. Slap in a hotter set of spark plugs. That will prolong the plug changes. Then sell it. [/QUOTE]
