CRAP! I'm smoking!

Well. I did use AJ's diag for an oil sucking intake and of course , it was. Ordered .125 gaskets from SCE, cleaned everything up, sealed it all real good and still smoking and sucking oil.

Finally today I tore it down again. Pretty sure my intake was milled a bit too much, so getting everything ready for a new intake. Yeah. It bites! The paper .125 SCE gaskets came apart at disassembly, of course but are oil soaked at the bottom of all intake ports. So that's a forsure issue. The angles are OK so not sure why it won't seal. I'm using Dave Hughes "intake sealing" info to get that all straightened out.

After looking real close down my ports, now I'm questioning my valve seals also. TotalSeal says to use a positive Viton type valve seal with their gapless rings and I did. After my first dyno session I found the seals were pulling off of the guides so I switched to the white teflon seals. Well they're still on the guides but now I wonder if they're letting oil get by.

The pic below is what I saw in every port with a closed valve. A smal "puddle" oif oil at the fender side of the valve. The car has been sitting since Sunday. The intake runners were pretty darn oily, especially the downward turn, towards the valve. Seems like a good bit of oil that pooled after shutdown, from JUST an intake sealing problem. I'm wondering if I should find a Viton seal that works while I have everything apart. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Kinda.......I'm exasperated over this whole thing. Brand new EVERYTHING.

What are your thoughts guys? I need counseling.
