Update
Soooo
I got a smoking deal on some bare Z304"P" heads, ported with slightly larger intake valves. Had Valley Head in Northridge assemble, went with some very gourmet bits putting them together.
STILL ate oil...Had my intake machined to match head angles, no joy. Took apart and followed Mr. Blykin's instructions to the tee, no luck, pulled all of the intake studs and noted that several seemed to not care much about the sealant i installed with them (Nod to RetCop). I Cleaned them up and this time used plain old Teflon plumbers tape which is rated for service up to 500 degrees...Suddenly plugs are cleaning up! I Hope Hope Hope ive finally slain this dragon, not much confidence given the hours and hours of time and literally thousands of dollars ive spent chasing it...Fingers and Toes crossed.
Next step if its not cured, as i keep threatening to do, is to pull the mill and have a pro go through it admitting defeat-which i hate to do)...
Sure appreciate all the help on the site!
