Yes, my valve covers are baffled and I did bypass the PCV for now. After running it, the plugs are all wet around the threads,and almost all of them are dry around the electrodes. Could this be residule run off in the heads?

My only other thought is to yank the manifold. When I dropped the motor and trans in, I did use a carb plate to lift the motoe into the engine bay. Could the weight caused the intake runners to get tweaked enough to cause the runners to seep oil from the galley? I don't mind yanking the manifold out, if I know it is the problem. Someone mentioned using modeling clay, which may tell what happened.
