I tried everything to get rid of oil consumption. (catch can, 01-02 style valley/pcv , the new truck pcv valve) I still find oil behind my tb and have to add a quart every 1500 miles. My suggestion would be to learn to live with it. I have.

If a 2001 is similar to a 99 PVC set up, then a larger diameter drain hole inside the passenger side valve cover in conjunction with a vertically mounted PCV valve & a just in case fuel filter, will eliminate oil consumption. Let me know if this is of interest & I will explain further. AM not sure how a 2001 PCV system i routed. If it's the same, this will work.

) and the stock PCV system with a catch can did not flow enuff and so it came out of the seals.As for the driverside head you can use the same filler cap breathwer ($50 a piece
) if you have 98 heads. for 99 and up heads you can just use a passenger valve cover on the driverside.i thought it was retarded to spend $100 on two breathers so i bought clamp on breathers fron jegs for $12 a peice and welded a 1 3/8" tube on each valve cover.

This is true, however when gasses are being pushed out, air must also be sucked in.
