Got 514 problems!

I'm a believer in a PC valve, without I worry about to much internal pressure.

A quart of oil in a thousand miles could be considered 'normal'.

BinB, it's not unheard of for breathers to fly off during dyno runs and it may not be a problem, there will be some blowby even if the rings seal well. If you had detonation problems it's possible to have damaged a piston. Why not do a compression check to find odd cylinders? You can have a detonation damaged piston with chunks broken off around the ring land and not even know it, you would want to catch it before the ring breaks up.

Just do a simple "leak down test". You'll be able to see if the rings are set and if there's any blow by. Then do a compression test. Also, read your plugs.
What was the fuel curve results on the dyno ?

The fuel curve results I do not yet know, but I'll ask when they reopen on Wednesday

Blue smoke (oil leak) out of the sidepipes could be the result of a intake gasket leak. This is especially true if you were using the Fel-Pro gaskets. Speculation of my part is people using the printoseal gasket still put RTV on them and it is causing the gasket to get too compressed. The gaskets get mangled and you get an intake leak. I switched to some Victor Reinz Nitro Seal gaskets and it cleared up my oil in the sidepipe problem.

So you're thinking the rebuilder used the end gaskets and put RTV on them, or I otherwise have an intake gasket leak due to something else? That would be way better than the alternative scenarios..

Bump!
