Well if the IP has to come off and the injectors, I might as well clean up all the leaky gaskets.

But i have noticed my oil consumption has went through the roof. It is speed dependant, too. If I stay 55 and below, it's not too bad. But over 65 or so and I go through a quart every 250 miles or so.

I am ready to spend some money fixing the oil leaks, get some power back with a new IP, but dont know which gasket set I will need to do the job.

Is the basic $150 felpro gasket set going to do me?

Do I need intake manifold gaskets with it?

Do I need to replace the head bolts?

Do I need to consider ring job, too, now that I am blowing smoke and burning oil?

Looking for guidance and direction before I blow my cash - but mainly I want to do it right the first go around.
