Simple alt. To dual breathers? (blowing oil like crazy)
Any ideas? Not really knowledgeable in this area but I'm pretty sure oil being blown on to the valve covers and shi* is not good lol

vent the valve covers to a sealed catch can, then run a line from the catch can to the vaccum side of your "whistle" that way your pulling vaccum on the crank case at all times regardless of manifold pressure.

plus, the broken ringland(s) could have destroyed the cylinder bore(s), so be prepared to find unrepairable damage.

It sure does, I figured it was time to change the oil, it was clean last time I changed it. Youre saying if I pull the pan there's a possibility that there's metal in the pan? Lately it feels like it's been missing while sitting at a red-light, I look at my wideband and it's super lean 16-17 then it goes back to stoich 14-15. I about to give up on this damn car. I can't afford this while being in college lol

Not too long ago I opened my system up completely. Ran a mini-breather on the back of the driver side head, capped the passengers side hose hookup and tb, have a metco style breather on the oil fill spot, and put a mini-breather on the ls6 valley cover port. After doing this, it was smelling horrible. Not really any mist, just a slight smoke that wreaked of oil out of the metco breather. I put a hose back on the ls6 valley cover into a PCV valve, and looped it back into the intake manifold. Now no more stink due to the vacuum of the intake, and the crankcase still has room to breathe out of all the other breathers. Not sure if this would help you, but its worth a try.
