Hey as u all know I swapped the AFRs 205 for the 225's.However based on the observation I was doing on the 205's, theres a couple of ports that are black with oil.Cylinder 3,7,4 all the rest are nice and clean.I was thinking its oil falling thru the rocker arm bolts cause, I never put any sealant of any kind.The car never smokes or burns oil, so Im assuming its not valve guides.It has the LS6 valley cover system,oil inside the intake was minimum.This time around Im putting silicone on the rocker arm bolts just to make it seal good.I also noticed the rocker arm bolts proture into the port like 3/16 into the port,is that enough to hurt airflow.If it does Im going to grind the end off.

The bolt intrusion is not enough to hurt flow. You'll definitely want some sealer on your threads that is heat resistant and oil and gas resistant. I've used the orange RTV on rocker bolts in the past. In conjunction with the LS6 valley pan mod, my intake ports are clean as a whistle. Oil consumption is pretty much 0 and my motor does not smoke on decel or at the end of a dyno run like so many other vehicles.
