My oil consumption was obvious once I pulled the intake, the ports in the hear were wet with oil and the intake gasket was saturated. The oil actually wicked through the name brand gaskets. What was frustrating was that the head/intake angle was spot on, the torque of the bolts was per factory spec, yet it still leaked. Superformance gaskets stopped the wick problem, "Honda bond" stopped the oil from passing the gaskets, and studs with the extra clamp (125 in.lb vs. 72)kept the oil where it belonged. Funny thing, once I discovered the "Honda Bond" I noticed a familiar grey material under a number of intakes on fast cars at the drag strip!
