left the engine running for a while (maybe 20 minutes or so) to test the aux-air valve (which seems to be broken, doesn't close completely) and once the engine was hot, it started to spit oil out of the exhaust.

Yaaagh, what a mess. Looks like the inside of bathroom porcelain after a Mexican dinner left the building... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
Anyway, I agree that the valve stem guides might be to blame. This is probably why the valve clearance is out of range. This will repeat until any excessive play in the guides is solved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) A problem with the exhaust valve guides is compatible with unburned oil; the combustion has already been and as fumes are driven out of the combustion chamber oil gets sipped through the guides leaving the engine. (Venturi effect; anyone care to comment on that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stfu.gif) ) If it are the piston rings you would have a very bad compression as well. So, is the engine running badly? Strange that it happens on both sides of the engine as the Monza has two mufflers (as my memory serves me correctly). Good luck with establishing the diagnosis.
