I vote with Asa Jay, had that happen on a 351C in a Mustang years ago - PCV was whacked out and oil was sucked out and burned - simply replacing it OR for a competition car going to the tall breather with filter thing works

    Well, I've been thinking your intake was sucking oil from the PCV
    all along.  However, the photos of the intake gaskets did seem to
    make it look like you -might- be sucking oil on number 1 port and
    that could possible bleed it to all the other ports on that plane.

    

    Just for sake of being on one side of the fence.  I'm going to stick
    with the PCV.  If I'm wrong, I'll have Mad Dog owe you a beer.  :)

                        Dear Dr,
                         
                        Today I replaced the bad
                            upper radiator hose and have plastic pipe
                            over it to make sure alt fan does not get
                            this one. I ran the engine for about 30 min.
                            and then installed the old PVC valve into
                            the system for the smoke/oil usage test run.
                            I have the results of that test. But before
                            I divulge the results, I would
                            like comments as to what you
                              all think I found. I will post
                            the results buy tomorrow noon.
                         
                        Sincerely,
                         
                        Bud

                                                          Did you have a

                                                          Could it have
                                                          been pulling
                                                          too much oil
                                                          vapor, or
                                                          maybe too much
                                                          oil in the
                                                          heads?

                                                          

                                                          What do you
                                                          think the
                                                          problem is?

                                                          

                                                          I once had
                                                          someone tell
                                                          me they like
                                                          to torque the
                                                          intake to the
                                                          heads before
                                                          torquing the
                                                          heads to the
                                                          block...
                                                          though I've
                                                          never done it
                                                          that way.  The
                                                          gasket should
                                                          have enough to
                                                          take up the
                                                          minute amount
                                                          of the slack.

                                                          

                                                          Do you have
                                                          any
                                                          indications of
                                                          oil seeping
                                                          past the
                                                          intake
                                                          gasket?  I
                                                          guess that's
                                                          the real
                                                          question.  If
                                                          not, then I'd
                                                          be looking for
                                                          cracks in the
                                                          manifold
                                                          sucking oil
                                                          from the
                                                          valley.  But
                                                          before I
                                                          assume that,
                                                          I'd need to
                                                          know what kind
                                                          of intake
                                                          gasket did you
                                                          use.  Did you
                                                          use a turkey
                                                          tray?  Or just
                                                          straight
                                                          gaskets to the
                                                          heads?

                                                          

                                                          I need more
                                                          pictures...
