Default Oil on TB

When I changed out my stock TB for a port/polished one I noticed a thick coating of oil on the back of the blade that faces the intake manifold, I can only imagine what the inside of the manifold looks like There is no smoke however, so I am assuming it is time for a catch can, don't want my new tb looking like that, so what sponsors sell one?

Dude, after a little time they all look like that. It's a thick carbon/oil build up. I'm not for sure that a catch can will fix the problem.

A catch can didnt work for me, I deleted the pcv system and added a breather. No oil in the intake now.

Default I gotta poop

Sorry i was running out of topics for the day! Alot of you colors and smells are due to the fact that the oil you are using has so much solvent in it that is burning off, and hince the pcv come into play to remove fumes. You can and should put a catch can on . Also look into buying a oil that doesnt contain 11.2 oz of solvent per 16 oz quart ( good luck on that ) There is one company out there that makes a oil that will blow your mind and keep you car clean and happy . They make really really really(lol i know i am getting carried away with the reallys) ocatane booster aswell and its really octane booster not the crap you buy at the store. Give me a shout if you would like to know the name of this oil. I am tired of posting the name and everyone flames me like i am trying to sell the **** for this guy . I just happen to use it and love it . But to each his own
