The Turkey tray isn't normally used when you use an aluminum intake manifold. The reason is because the turkey tray also doubles as the intake gasket & The tin doesn't work well sealing the aluminum intake.
The Oil burn shouldn't be much of a problem on the bottom of the intake... remember the stock intakes sit way down inside the oil galley area, where as the Aluminum intakes sit up high above it, so shouldn't be much of a problem.
If you REALLY want to use the turkey tray, cut out all the tin that goes over the intake ports , just leave the 2 bosses on each side that hold it in place, and use regular gaskets over the top- That should work as well, but it may cause vacume leaks where that tin sticks under the intake gaskets...Ben
