Default Ooooooh oil, me so sorry

I buurrrnnn and lleeaaaakkkk oil like a *****, and Royal Purple isn't CHEAP!

Anyways, been doing so searching around the forums and came up with some shtuff.. First of all, my DoD burns oil, awesome.. Second, I have a leaking valve cover, sweet.. Third I read oil get's into our intake manifold and collegiates, terrific..

SO, next mod - Diablosport Trinity and a 91 DoD OFF tune from Lew (prob 2 weeks-ish, can I pay with credit card?)

Next - Any better valve cover gaskets than OEM? Ones that don't leak? Or is it just poor installation?

Finally - I need a "How To.." or a "Do It Yourselfer" thread for installing a catch can.. I don't know how or where to even start.. Any responses will be appreciated, I'm tired of my 90,000km LS V8 acting like a Chrysler 2.7 V6..

The PCV line is really easy to locate , it runs accross the top of your front head and into the top of your air intake , id just take it off and put a filter there , I believe f3racer did this in his custom cai thread.

Your gonna LOVE your trinity , worth every penny.
(and i havent even gotten a custom tune yet....)

The clean side hooks to you intake off you front valve cover the dirty side hooks to the top of you intake manifold from the rear valve cover. Get a catch can and hook the clean side to the highest port on it and the dirty side to the lowest port

I did just put a small spectre filter on the front pcv line when I did my intake. I had to bend it up slightly to make it fit.
