You should also replace the intake end seals with just a bead of silicone instead of the seals included with the gasket set. After decking, the intake wants to sit down lower, but the end seals are too thick and can push the intake off the gaskets which seal the runners, allowing oil to get drawn into the runners from the lifter valley.
