After a complete re-install of the intake manifold, there is still oil residue(a thin film) on number 5 plug.

I have to conclude that despite it passing dry and wet compression checks, something is wrong with the oil ring.

Still no smoke at all, this has been an *** kicker. Tomorrow everything comes off. Heads, ect. Time to find out what is up.
