Aidan's loose oily bunghole actually runs a track lap
What's your air/oil separator situation? Is it plumbed back to draw vacuum from the intake manifold? You could splice in a clear piece of tubbing to see if it's drawing a ton of oil into the manifold.

There is a coating. But it's mostly dry carbon (I didn't clean the intake mani that well before installing.) Not a lot of wet. I know some oil is getting through. But just picked up a new separator.

Re: Rice sound for det.
You should only be able to hear it with det cans and it shouldn't happen during decel right? I think my intake filter vibrates at certain rpms due to the resonant frequency and it has scared the crap out of me before because it sounds like an angry swarm of bees.

Not sure yet. Currently trying to decide if I should get some new ones overnighted, or toss some stock shim over buckets in. Looks like 4 or 5 total are damaged.
