The oil consumption was the intake gasket(s)
Which is half the battle, I replaced the felpro 1262s gaskets with the recommended ford racing blue ones...
Took it for a 85 mile drive with a lot of rev matching and engine braking and the oil level didn’t budge one iota.
I am sort of expecting to have to tear it down again to do it “right” per all of the excellent advise from all of you really knowledgeable pros who have kindly taken the time to share their wisdom! Mr Blykins in particular.
The ports DO match up pretty well on center (well #2 & 6 that are a straight shot in on my super Vic), by eyeball anyway, the sealed gaps on the China walls on either end look pretty small, but it’s kind of hard to judge with the sealant goobering out and I don’t really want to trim it for fear of pulling it out.
It’s great to have the mystery solved though, dealing wit this issue is not that big of a deal.
Thanks again guys!
