yup looks pretty normall. these motors DRINK alot of oil thru the PCV system. All that crud it from oil going thru your intake. I no longer run the pcv into the intake. if your not gonna run your PCV thru your intake anymore clean it out and yourll be fine. but if your still gonna run it thru rhe intake then don't bother cause its gonna look the same after a while anyways.

If you haven't already disconnected the PS pump, don't. Remove the alternator from the bracket and unbolt the bracket from the engine with the pump attached. Then move the pump aside while suspending it by a rope to avoid strain on the hydraulic lines and fittings. You can run a chain diagonally across the engine like left front to right rear or right front to left rear. Look at some magazines or books on engine removal and re-installation and you'll get some ideas.

91sbcamaro, how much oil did your motor burn? Some LS1's drink oil and some don't. Mine doesn't burn any. I'll be putting an LS6 intake on in the next couple weeks so I'm trying to guage what mine looks like before I do the swap.
