I have some old POS 5.3 heads and a whole set of extra engine covers so I just bolt those on to do any cleaning I need to, thats what i used to protect everything while I painted it. The excess that is where it shoudlnt be is from the first time I painted it by taping everything off.

Z06 you ever figure out what happened to the intake?
I still have them, Im trying to sell them but no dice yet
I agree, I think they were the cause of my oil consumption issues since my cylinder walls were absolutely spotless.
