Going to pull intake and will post findings

Im thinking its definitely not turbo givin plug condition and oil accumulation in plenum

not running a pvc

 

[turbodaniel]

Well I have the intake off and there definitely looks like intake gaskets were not sealed. Intake ports all oily and valve stems all wet.... would that explain oil up in plenum though

Based on the pictures it looks like the intake isn't machined at the right angle where it mates to the heads.

Update...Have not been able to find the source of the leak yet, have checked and rechecked everything except ....THIS

I am running ported Champion GN1s that were machined for 3/8 pushrods

could this have compromised a pushrod shaft allowing oil to be drawn in ?

if so can it be repaired?

Did you pull any of the springs off ? I just recently seen a Champion head seize a valve and guide creating wear from the guide moving up and down. Was smoking like crazy.

Think I may have found my problem I pulled the intake AGIAN to inspect intake runners on heads and this is what I found on all 6 of them ...got a feeling there not supposed to be there

Use some gasket maker on the bolts to seal them.

Will be first time pulling rockers ...a little leary setting valve lash properly

Are you running a solid or hydraulic?

 

[BEATAV8]

Pic is a bit blurry but looks like something is poking through into your intake port. What is it? Rocker stud?

Over porting?

I would say so

It is a pea size hole in all 6 runners right underneath the rocker pedestal bolt hole

Are you running a solid or hydraulic?

solid

Not uncommon as long as the threads are sealed.

Not uncommon as long as the threads are sealed.

So its not really needed to fill in the holes, just seal the threads?

Yes, not a big deal, just need to seal the leak.

 

[87-TURBO-T]

I just got a new set of brodix heads from jegs that are not even ported and every intake runner has a hole where the rocker stud comes through.

 

[turbodaniel]

If the threads arent sealed, could it be pulling as much oil as I am getting ?

 

[Philv6]

I asked about the same thing. ( holes in the ports) I'm not as concerned after the replies I got.
