Did you install the restrictor and thats why or what do you think happened? My **** smokes bad, but its because of the damn breathers. I'm not driving mine until I get my afpr, rails, and catch can. Should be here this weeks sometime.

You can transfer the back cover to the LS1 alt, I'm using an S-10 cover on the back of mine.

NO. I drove all day friday around town boosting here and there for about 4-5 hrs after work. Checked the breathers about 5-6 times no problems. Get on it hard one last time before I put it into the shop hit 4 gears and holy smoke. All it was doing was smoking all the way to the shop. Get out both breathers had oil leaking past them totally drenched. So yesterday I put a restrictor in the feed line and a catch can to help. Didnt help anything still smoking like crazy. And a **** ton of blow by at idel. Okay lets see if the turbo is shot. Yep exhaust housing full of oil. So now is it possible for the air to be going past the seals and pressurizing crank? I have had no problems with blow by till the turbo started leaking oil. Car still runs perfect.

Stock bracket, barely modified.

Thanks for the info the truck alt was here and ready so I just threw it on. Belts holding on great many 5900 shifts.

If you had the PCV lines hooked up wrong you could be pressurizing the crankcase. How did you have them routed?

Doing these WOT pulls, I'm assuming you have a good afr and timing is right.

PVC Whats that lol. 2 valve cover breathers, no problems till seals went on turbo.

Tune 15 degrees HO timing and 11.5 afr

I thought you ran a catch can? I took that as you removed the breathers and installed the catch can and made a PCV system. Just adding a catch can with the breathers, I don't think that would do anything.

What size is your feed and drain line? I'm hoping that doesn't happen to me, I'm having the same problems as you, but I haven't driven mine as long as you have.

-4 feed with restrictor -10 return with a pretty high mounted turbo. Ran all 3 valve cover lines to a vented can. I figured that would help from saturating the filters so fast. Im gonna have the turbo rebuilt and if that dont help something gave in the motor(which i turely doubt.)

The catch can has an inlet and outlet. Theres alot of good info in here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...ting-ok-2.html

Thanks for the info but my catch can in a home brewed item.

If you don't have an outlet then it will not work. It is supposed to filter and trap the dirty air allowing only clean air out, at the same time venting the crankcase.

It does have one its a breather filter.

That will work. So I'm guessing that was soaked after this happened?

blazin

iTrader: (16)

Yeap it was soaked somehow im getting tons of blow by with the turbo being messed up.

That sucks man, sorry to hear about that. Hope its not anything too expensive to fix.

broken #7 would be my guess. were you logging? what did it show for knock?

i have seen a very similur story to this and often it is the old broken piston, especialy if it is showing blowby at idle.

i hope i am wrong.

tuning, loging, working your way into the power and watching for knock, all very important.

Hey man, sorry to get of topic but has steven gotten the "turbo turd" from you yet? I heard he was supposed to be getting it soon.

parish8

iTrader: (6)

who what?

WS6HUMMER

iTrader: (19)

LOL, I hope he gets it soon, we're going to a private track day and I hope he can make it with the new ride.

If number 7 was broken would it still run good? I will have to check the compression and stuff on that cylender. The turbo is shot though and I had no blow by before it started blowing oil outta the turbo. I guess I can plug all the oil lines and start it with the turbo off and let it run and see if I have blow by too. I havent ever had any knock under boost.
