Yes, I'm here. But I don't know what's causing your leak. And I thought you could breath a little bit of nitrogen and it wouldn't hurt you....

Undy Dave what would happen if you charged the manifold with Freon? you have a sniffer like mine that will pick up very small leaks and the dye will leave a stain wheres its coming through?? Brain farting, Pat's not helping yet!!! Rick L. Ps if this doesn't show anything, do the block the same way if you can get a good seal. By the way Pat like the dentist office for his fix.

Not knowing never stopped you before... With everything else that's been through my lungs, Nitrogen would be my least worry.

If you keep pressurizing everything, and everything keeps passing, all I can think is that you just start blindly replacing gaskets. Sorry.

Dave,
Just grasping again but this thought occurred:

A. Started after the intake change-right?
B. Goo only in VC's-right?

Guessing that water is entraining into the oil feed at the rocker pedestals in each head. That would contaminate only the valve cover area. Don't know where such water could come from and don't know why the goo doesn't go down the corner head drains and contaminate the valley/crankcase areas. You don't oil through the pushrods right?

Just trying to get someone smarter than me to think away from all the gasket/head/porosity/testing stuff beat to death here. You've covered all that in my view.

If you haven't already-get KC to listen and offer a thought or two. I KNOW he's not responsible for this problem.

Getting a headache.
