Intake gasket opinions

Dropped them off at my guy and boy was he pissed. He said he has way too many hours in these to just give up. They did make a ton of power. He told me he doesn't think there is a reliable fix, the way it is now.. felt pretty bad about it too. We could seal, epoxy, glue....."oil always finds a way through".

Pretty sure it held up on the dyno because it's a constant 160 degrees. Once I started heat cycling to 185 ish, back an forth, expansion-contraction just f#%รท'd everything up. Just my own theory.

So the thought right now is maybe convert to pushrod oiling. I'm already running lifters that will work, the MRL(BAM Products). My lifter bores are bushed and I run Smith Bros 3/8 oil through rods, and Hughes rockers. Not 100 percent on the rockers capability...

I THINK all I need to do is order new adjusters with an oil hole, block the passage in the block, and maybe good to go........I think.

He's doing some research tonite, I'm doing my research......if you can help me along the way, I'd sure appreciate it. I know quite a few guys have gone to pushed oiling. I'm just not sure if my ****'s all compatible. If i have to order a new rocker setup I will. At this point i just want it done so i can move on. JEEZ!:wtf:
