Well I have never heard of that before? intake runners going white.... Is it a chalky white as in being dry? Or maybe a leak in the gasket around the water jacket and mixing with oil and turning white?

Have any pics?

I have seen exhaust runners turn white from a to lean of fuel/air mix..but not intake?

The intake will turn white. There is an exhaust cross over from head to head. Do you have EGR?

Yeah a pic would be worth a thousand words, and GH, I still have never seen white intake runners even on motors with a heat crossover?
