Hey Ski, how big of a bead of permatex did you put around your ports?

I used this gooey blue stuff "Ultra-seal" by permatex this time around the front intake port and water jackets and the oil problem seems significantly better.

And could you elaborate on how you could not tell that you had an intake leak? You say you couldn't tell at all by inspecting the gasket?
