Well with crane golds doe not matter which way shafts are in. 1 inch is the usual boss height. 10 though is nothing but poor fitting at the bottom of the port is usually intake too wide. what type intake is it??
strange that all 8 get the same leak you would think with that much silicone you would get some ports sealing at least??
are the valve seals the black ones or the white machined ones?

how much oil in the pan????

both valve covers are vented???

some type of positve crankcase ventalation is needed (more is better)

When you had the head off where the pistons washed. generally bad rings allow the top of the piston to be washed it will show up around the edges at the top of the piston will be clean in 1/2" to all the way as the oil coming up from the crank case washes any carbon build up away!

That sounds to me like guides and seals. oil will not pool from the intake it will only get sucked in when the engine is running.
BUT IT will run Right in bad seals and guides just cause you can see seals does not mean they are good.
Black ones right!!!

PISTONS NOT WASHED??

go buy some edelbrock heads and be done! LOL!!

yes black seals with the spring around them,tops of pistons are coated with oil. i believe they are 3/8 teflon?.

I had a set of the white teflon with the steel spring on my Indy heads and when we reassembled the new heads after porting at least five of them had tears (they tear easy when valves are pushed through especially if there is any ruffness on top of valve stem) had to change them in car as it was smoking bad. I use a differnet type now much more forgiving but still fit the machined guide.
I'm leaning to torn seals and maybe your guides leave something to be desired??

My car was using a quart every tank full. Ends up they make like a 0.500 PC seal and a .530" PC seal. Quess which ones Comp stocks? The .530 won't stay put onto a .500 guide step.

Can you tell me which type of guide seal you use that is similar to the PC seal? Do they work for guide stems machined to 0'500"?
