Working on a 1956 minne moline 445 and am getting oil on top 1and 2 cylinders. Put umbrellas on each valve stems,checked most all I know but cant come up with the answer on YYY oil is on top of pistons?? Any ideas??

If I was sure that the oil was not running down a valve stem, I'd suspect head gasket. I'm sure you know that those are a bit tricky with that bridge across the two heads. Tricky I guess getting the head torqued down properly.

Check compression see if rings are bad. Next look for any possibility (slim) oil is getting in the manifold.
