Can anyone measure how thick the intake flange is on a un cut edelbrock victor dominator? I am just wondering for peace of mind to see if this one was never cut.

This pic is from the first time I took it apart after buying it. Looks like it has always sat like this. See how the bottom is barely pinching the gasket.

I definitely staggered the rings and installed them with markings up. So If they were labeled wrong it would have to be every single one? Its kind of hard to believe but I guess it is possible.

Excessive Oil Consumption Fresh Motor

I did oil up the pistons and rings by hand when installing. Im wondering too if using to much arp assembly lube on fasteners could put to much moly in my oil and cause this issue.
