Default Clarification

Actually, I was not asking whether or not to re-use those gaskets.
I guess I should clarify for the reading impaired.

I was asking if that poor seal around number 5 was enough to cause the oil consumption problem I was observing. Pulling oil vapor from the windage tray/lifter valley is a sketchy diagnosis.

If it wasn't, I was going to pull the cylinder head while I had the intake off. Otherwise, I was going to stop at the intake and try a new gasket and go with it.

Anyway, it is back together with some 1262's. The builder put 1250's on it originally and I think that was part of the problem.
