Not sure, ford racing told me in there email they are not aware of a problem with the orange seals well i know of 2 other 427's here in australia that the problem went away after changing the orange seals, i will find out hopefully by tomorrow if it has solved my problem, ive been dealing with Marty at ford racing his email is frpp@ford.com.
cheers chris ps more than likely not tight enough in my case fine when cold but as the oil got hot would start to smoke, the seals probably got soft anyway and not enough spring tention, once we get the seals off we will know.
