Milling Intake?
Milling Intake? I am sucking oil through the bottom of the intake ports and am pretty sure the intake needs to be milled. When building the motor i was told by a "friend" to just slot the holes and it would be ok 
Anybody know a formula to know how much to be taken off? i found on one site for every .010 off the heads .0123 off the intake, but wouldnt you have to take block deck height into consideration? I believe my heads were milled .034 and block deck height is 9.016. Im going to the machine shop tomorrow but I like to have a good idea on what needs to be done so im not fed a line.

ill throw the intake on thursday and see how it lines up again. should i mock it up with the intake gaskets or bare?
