being that its green and not milky that means its just leaking into the oil, not getting heated like a blown head gasket. check to make sure ur lower intake is not cracked. if it is and you want a stock intake to put on it untill u have money for a good one PM me i have 2.

AFR may be saying that about torquing their heads since they're aluminum--they don't want you to strip them out--but I would think other manufacturers would be saying the same thing.

Changing the oil pan gasket shouldn't be too bad if you have a couple of inches between your K member and the pan. I went w/ a rubber Felpro gasket w/ the metal core ($20 at Autozone)....I just don't trust cork gaskets.

The oil Is milky the crank has churned the oil and the coolant to really mix it together. I changed the cam and the intake at the same time so maybe that is the problem the timing cover is leaking and its draining into the oil. I appreciate the offer for a stock intake i have two as well. If all else fails thats what i am going to do.

I am going to pull everything off the car tomorrow as soon as i get home from work. intake heads oil pan everything and reseal the whole damn thing. The intake is new and shouldnt be cracked. I mean i havent ever really done anything to hurt the intake. Never OVER torqued (just torqued in the wrong order). im going to pull the timing cover and everything tomorrow and we shall see.
