Inlet manifold or gaskets?? Did you check clearances? Were the heads resurfaced? A lot of possibilities.

Scott, start from the top, rip the valley cover off and make sure that is all matching and then down to the head gaskets.

I just changed my timing chain and when I took off the front cover off the cavitation was bad enough in one spot that I'm sure it would have been a matter of time before it would have been a pinhole leak and into the oil she goes. It wouldn't take much under pressure.
