Intake runners sucking oil?
Hello everyone.
I have a fresh 383 in my 38 chevy truck, complete with 2.02/ 1.6 heads. The heads also have positive oil seals on them. Everything is fresh.
I just finished re-installing my intake with a fresh set of Fel pro gaskets. I noticed the old gaskets had some evidence of oil around all the intake ports. This engine has been a real bear to tune.
At first I thought of the the PCV pulling oil ( which it still may be doing ), but the evidence is pointing to the intake sucking the oil. Could the intake be warped? It would have to get awful hot to do that right? It's a vic jr. intake in case anyone needs to know.
The only thing I did different this time was to only put a thin layer of "gasgachinc" on the head side of the gaskets leaving the "beaded" side of the gaskets dry against the manifold side. I hope after leaving it to cure overnite, that the smoke out the back will end. Any advice about this issue? Thanks to all in advance.
