How much oil in intake is normal? I just got done pulling my 102 intake from my car (still hot) with the intentions of painting it. When I got it apart I noticed the intake ports were a light brown color (on the heads) and feeling of the inside of the intake it feels pretty slick almost like a very very very light oil film is there. Is that normal? Its not like its all coated in oil it just has a light greasy film. I took degreaser to the inside of the intake but if any oil texture isn't normal I don't want this to happen again. I also have a Norris catch on the car.

When I put the ls6 intake on 3 months ago my ls1 intake was filled with oil. I then added a norris catch can myself and hopefully it has cut down a little but like stated above to remove valve would be best bet. Thats the problem with the faulty system these engines have.
