another oil burning LS1 after headers
well, earlier this year i got headers/true duals installed and now she's-a burnin oil
I put about 2k miles on it after the stuff was installed, and did a tuneup a couple of miles before that
well, i did another tuneup/oil change this weekend (right at 2k miles), and only lost about a half quart of oil
but the funny thing was, on the spark plugs the passenger side had a lil bit of burnt oil on them
but the driver side was just caked up with it, and there was even a good bit of wet oil on them
any suggestions to help with this?
should i jig up a catch can for the PCV system?
btw these are MAC's

Funny, when this issue come up the person having the problem usually has Macs.
I know it doesnt make any sense but you have to admit...it is a trend.

Re: another oil burning LS1 after headers
Mine started burning oil ~4k miles after i installed MAC'S <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I'm planning on rebuilding the shortblock, then putting some grots or hooker LT's on. I'm about tired of the smoking and burning oil.
