Intake gasket opinions

Salt in the wound man. Sorry about that.

I had the same tube problem and oil on top of every piston. I drilled the oil hole in the head like the big blocks are, and bypassed the head bolt hole. That hole went through the water jacket so the oil hole was sleeved with a steel tube into the rocker stand. We then re-sleeved the head bolt hole and didn't re-drill those oil holes.

That head worked great. Then other head blew oil out the rocker shaft bolt hole. Same thing, oil in every cylinder.

So we went to the LAX heads (yep, the LA heads) and used Chevy stud mounted rockers. After a little work they made some pretty good horsepower.
