WHAT HAPPENS: Heat, vacume, crank case pressure, and oil residue take its toll on the factory gasket, the gasket will soften up and blow the gasket. the vacume from the intake will then suck the oil from the engine into the cylinders, some symptoms include oil fouled plugs, smoking on acceleration, loss of oil . over time this will carbon the valves untill they will not seat.

STURDY FIX: Remove intake from the engine, remove the valley pan from the botton of the intake. replace factory gasket with upgraded metal gasket.
