Compression Test Results

sucking oil from a intake port area??

Yes it was, but not any more.

How did you get that compression ratio? Custom pistons?

Yes, Ross forged pistons. I'd have preferred a bit lower to be honest, I have to be careful with the timing to avoid detonation. I'm considering a bigger cam to help. Scat forged crank, Scat rods, spent a lot of money on this engine.
Made 341hp at the wheels on the chassis dyno but if I'd have put the same $$ into a 440 it would probably be 500hp...

I've had similar issue and it was oil entering through intake valve guides on 2 cylinders. Seals were teflon and I reckon oil was wicking through the micro scratches on valve stem. Intake valves were always saturated in oil when parked up. I bet your car smokes when it is started first time in a while. I changed seals to neoprene type and it all went away.

Well if you read my post you would know that it was the intake manifold gaskets and it's fixed. The only thing the car smokes is the tires.

That is the good smoke....

Oops, yep just did. Glad you got it resolved!
