After running the new intake I still had the oil consumption issue. I really noticed it when I would lift off throttle. I checked my cylinder pressure and then a leak down test. I forget the exact numbers, but I know the leak down was at least 10% across all 8. I pulled the engine out and took the short block into the machine shop. Few days later I got the call, my cylinders had a lot of taper. A .030 overbore took care of it.
