Seems as though you have an oil leak from the lifter valley into one of the
intake ports.

There may be some oil coming up from the lifter valley cover. Did you use a
new gasket under there?

Another thing to check is the PCV valve. If there's too much pressure in
the oil pan, you might want to install a catch-can to prevent oil from getting
back into the manifold.



Don't plug the PCV lines from the valve covers. You need to vent the pressure
in the motor, or you will get leaks.
