Motor out as i had pictures on last interception. Uhm pulled valve covers. Crud real bad. I mean bad. But as before motor runs great. Took kerosene and poured over my rocker arms to try to free the crud up. On both sides. On passenger bank when i was doing this kerosene started to run out of the exhaust. Not down the exhaust but out of the tail pipe. What could be causing this. Broken valve guide seal

Yup. Could be the head is cracked. Either way, it sounds like it may be time for a rebuild
