I pulled the intake today. The Fel-Pro intake gaskets were NOT what is causing the oil burning, they were sealed all the way around every port (you could see the impression where they sealed). The oil is coming down the intake valves, it was actually laying on top of the intake valves in pools! My mechanic friend came over and looked at it for about 25 minutes. Evidentially I am getting so much oil to the top of the heads that it is just being sucked down the intakes. I did have a valve job, new CJ size valves, new guide liners, and new seals installed. He used good seals, but they are not the little white PC seals that you must machine the heads for. I think without all that oil they may work fine.
We are going to put some 70 size Holley jets in the oil holes feeding the rockers (smaller may even be better after what I saw!!). Any comments here are welcome. I am running a Melling high-volume oil pump with oil mods to the bottom of the block (to force more oil to the main gallery).
