I'm about to pull valve covers but i was wondering if anyone had suggestions on why the milkshake is there

Water or fuel in oil.

I've also seen some higher milage motors with it under the valve covers that had no problems.

Mung inside valve cover, is normal on car that doesn't routinely reach operating temperature. White stuff in lifter valley is not normal. Are you loosing coolant? Drain oil and see what comes out.

OP, do you have a 160* t-stat?

blown head gasket maybe.

Let's start with why you pulled the intake off?

slow96ss

Changed oil about 2 weeks ago an oil was fine but I have stock t-stat and intake was pulled to fix leak in the rear

That could be the reason for the milky stuff.

#1 intake port doesn't look like others and #1 exhaust pipe doesn't look same as 3,5,7 ---

Ya the port does look different but the exhaust pipe is alright just looks funny in the pic. No big deal though im ordering different ones next week anyway and the valve cover gunk is actualy above #1 not 7

Is the motor in a cold place? (sorry if that sounds stupid) but in the winter time this often happens to oil in a vehicle.

slow96ss

It's outside all the time and takes on the Illinois winter. Been pretty cold here lately

When I worked at the tire and lube express almost every car that came in in the winter looked like that under the oil cap. I bet it is just the cold weather, especially if it is sitting outside.

check the compression, and coolant system pressure test.

Id agree with this, seems youd get alot of conclusions out of it

I noticed that too. Seems to me like OP is 1 cylinder short.

Looks like normal condensation drive it 200 miles and see if you loose any coolant but its not a headgasket if you dont have any driveability problems..or pressure test the cooling system with the intake off and see if its seeping in the valley that could be possible
