Default Does your R 'whistle' from the intake on part throttle?

Mine makes a little whine sometimes, just for a second, when opening the throttle (part throttle) at low revs. Sounds like a little 'squeak'.

My leakdown test reported a tiny bit of leakage into the intake on 2 & 4. I can't remember it doing this when I first got it. Is this normal?

I'm thinking it's time to readjust the valves (been 10K since last done), or possibly that I could have some kind of head problem that's contributing to my oil consumption.

just about every car with aftermarket intake does it. its no big deal. there has been numerous discussions on it. its like whistling through your mouth, the right amount of air is being sucked in at that moment thats why it whistles.

bahhhhhhh ill let someone else explain it
