The old intake didn't look bad, but replaced it with the Mr Gasket better one. If the valve seals were bad wouldn't it smoke at startup? They are Mopar heads. No PCV valve. Seems to be a little oil in the plug wells, but the #2 and #4 plug looked like they were "dipped" in oil! I did have the intake valves replaced also. Did not replace the seals, he told me they were good.

Thanks, Mark

Do you have the compression washers on the spark plugs? if so this very well may be your issue, if plugs currently or in the past were installed with the compression washers, the HEMI plug tube has been damaged/distorted and oil is entering the cylinder, seen it before, common mistake, if this is the cause, replace the tubes, and remove the compression washers from the spark plugs, the HEMI tube is your compression "washer"
