it will be your intake causing the oil consumption which will also case your plugs to foul! Under the intake is a steel plate with a weak gasket that blows out! On ebay you can order an aluminum plate for $50.00 Delivered to your door and from your auto parts store get the gaskets! replace them and you oil consumption will disappear and you will have alot more power!

+1 on the intake, that was what was wrong with mine. About 2" of the gasket was missing.
