Good luck with the oil leaks! If you beat them, you will have accomplished something few have. We have a pair of 6V92 DDECs on our boat. Years ago, I gave up on my SprayNine and rags routine. Now I just change clothes before going into the engine room!
Had a buddy with 8V71s in his boat. He had a very strict regime of strategically locating feminine napkins to catch each leak. The day after each trip, once the engines had cooled down a bit, he'd send his son into the engine room to "change the manhole covers"!
A naturally aspirated 6-71 is a rock solid engine, just messy like all its cousins.
