Default Anyone know about DSS engines?

I just bought a Shell Valley Coupe with a DSS 347 level 10 in it with about 1000 miles on it and its pumping oil on #5 cylinder to the tune of about a quart every 200 miles. Driving normally it doesn't smoke, I don't know how by looking at the spark plug, but getting on it hard it smokes really bad then clears up about halfway through 2nd gear. When I bought this thing it had 14psi of fuel pressure going to the carb and the oil was half gas. I figured he washed down the bearings but its carrying 60 lbs of pressure at 2500 rpm and about 20 at idle. The compression is 150 lbs in all 8 holes. I pulled the intake and #5 looks like oil tracks and the intake runner looks like its oil stained. The gasket looks to be a Fel Pro 1250 that I never use because of failures. What do you guys think? Could the intake be sucking oil? Thank's, Lex
