    Yes...I used a new intake gasket. I did the intake swap while it was out of the car, on a stand, I was pretty careful doing it...but anythings possible . New Rotella oil and filter, ran it for a while to break in the new cam. Since then I have been idling it on and off for a month or two (just love to hear it run since its not on the road yet). The oil level looks to be stable. Ill change the oil and filter, run it and see where I'm at. Sucks for this to be happening with spring just around the corner

    When you say you've been "idling it on & off for a month or two" how long do you run it at any one time? Do you get it up to full temperature, or just start it, listen for a couple of minutes and then shut it down?
