Mine are dry as a bone. The intake was already installed on my motor by Mike at MRL when I received it. The only reason I attempted to pull out the back 2 plugs on the left side was the clearance issues with my linkage bracket. I sure couldn't get mine to budge. When I started grinding on mine I was afraid I might grind through but I figured that I'd pull the intake off if I did. Luckily they were pretty thick. I have less than 2 hundred miles on the motor so far. No oil leak issues anywhere but I did have a problem with the spark plugs not seating and switched to a tapered spark plug.
