Oil in the intake ports should lubricate the air so that it actually flows faster.

Super dirty? I've seen some that had thick oil gunk caked on from cheap oil and oil not being changed regularly that I refused to take in to port. Takes too long to clean them. Plus with builds they were doing, I tell them just remove the oil junk and they'll be like ported compared to how they are now.
