Nope... the only place the lower intake touches the motor is at the intake ports of the heads... not likely to get oil in that way... I have pictures of the intake in my "Phase I" post (will be posted next... so check it out...) Anyway... looks like a lot of oil has been in there for quite awhile... its actually kinda sludged on there. Aynway... check it out... BTW VX922... you kinda disappeared... I hope you stick around for this conversion I am doing... I'm sure we can talk shop along the way.

TTYL!
