Why would oil pool up inside the channel were the inside bolts are? It is like this on both sides. After I replace the upper and lower intake gaskets. Will this fix the issue or will I need to do something else?

bad pcv could do that, or it seeped up from the lim bolts
make sure you use thread sealant on the lim bolts when they go back in.

Ok I will make sure to add sealant to the bolts before putting them back in. Thanks!

its normal condensation/accumulation over time from the pcv system.
pull it apart at 10k and youll see the puddle, it just wont be as full or dirty as a 75k+ lim

I remember these times lol. If you have access to a quality sandblaster, sandblast it and jet wash it or rinse it out to make sure you get all the glass outOriginally Posted by durell81

never sandblast it, the carbon should be soaked in cheap old kerosene and scrubbed.
too much chance for sand to get stuck inside a pcv passage and kerosene is like 4$ a gallon and a rubbermaid tote is like 10$ steal yer old lady's toothbrush, and an old water bottle with a few pinholes in the side for rinsing under pressure/stream.
100 pack of razor blades and change em often as they get nicked

No point in scrubbing it and making it pristine if it's gonna happen again.

Agreed.. it's totally normal for oil to be there. And .. also agreed, cleaning it too much is a waste of time.

Thanks everyone this forum has been extremely helpful. I can't wait to have this car back up and running.

Soooo are you putting a new upper on it and switching out that big stovepipe? If not.. you should block the coolant ports to bulletproof it.
Search on my name, "ea sy" without spaces and look for modding a lim.

This only happens if you don't know what your doing. I sand blast it then jet wash and use air to blow it out to verify no glass is left behind. The engine shop I do this at is owned by my buddy who's done engine rebuild's for 30+ years.
