Default Re: not a 351, but 302 problem i need answered

This may be my first post on this site, but I do have some first hand experience with this issue.

Everyone needs to calm down a little. Most likely this is just a crankcase ventilation issue.
First, are you using the stock screen that goes under the pcv?
Second, do you have the baffles in place on the valve covers?
These 2 very small and easy to overlook details can cause tremendous problems.

You know you have oil in the intake. The critical question is where the oil is coming from. If the TB/VC hose is wet with oil then look at the valve cover baffles.
If the line between the pcv and intake is wet, then maybe an oil separator will solve your problems. Steeda offers a kit, but you can also pick up an air compressor kit from Home Depot for a little less $.
If you are getting good numbers for leak down and compression tests, then I would think that the rings and valve guides/seals are just fine.
Wish you luck
