Oil Leaking into Valve chambers

Finally found the 2nd part to my oil burning problem. Oil was finding its way into the valve chambers from the intake. The gasket didn't seal tight enough, even with the goop. Now I'm not exactly running anything close to stock here, just wondering what solutions some guys might suggest to get a good seal on the intake manifold.

What gaskets are you running? I found to have horrid leaks using stock LT4's which I had to port match to my heads. Started using the 12367777 LT4 "performance" gaskets and have been happy ever since.

I am using GM LT4 12367777 gaskets. I have lots of blue smoke, but first I will change the rubber valve seals.

I would have the intake checked for the correct angle as well as what the angle you are seeing on the heads. And have them match. Don't assume that they are the stock angles.
