Not much hooker, but there was some oil on top of the gasket outside the port areas. End seals and water ports looked good. Oh, and I had to pull the EB valve covers to remove the intake, something I didn't have to do with the old valve covers.
The bolts from the intake were crusty and black and smelled like burnt death. I'm going to pull the plugs and check them. Looks like I have been having some severe combustion. The two center ports on the intake were covered on the inside with a black soot. It smelled like a gas/oil burnt mixture. Nasty....
Looks like another oil change and plugs are needed.....
I need to get that carb....got tied up yesterday with the removal, and some late business. PM me you cell phone please....

The intake gasket wasn't sticking very good in the middle section when I removed it. Came off quite easy in fact. Used a gasket glue, and RTV on the ends, and around water ports. Followed the instructions, but I may have not let the gaskets set up long enough before installing the intake.
I am going to be slow and deliberate this time....
