So, I just pulled my intake off to replace my intake port seals....and I found the following!!

Question, is this normal? What could be causing this? Is it something of concern? Its very gummy, and its not in all of the cylinders, just number 3, a little bit in 7. I also looked further down in the port and its almost clean...should I not worry about it? Just wipe it up?

Thanks!

Wow, you sporting an LS6 PVC or catch can? What does the inside of the intake look like?

 

Is that oil??? There should not be oil in there! Maybe a piston ring is gone?

 

Yeah it's normal. Just wipe it up. At least you didn't have rat terds like I did lol!

 

Lol you had rat **** in your intakes?!

 

I would like to see what htis appears to be. I haven't taken my intake off ever, but have to upgrade to an LS6 at some point. Just want to see what this is, if for whatever reason I take mine off and run into this, I would like to know exactly what it is. Good picture too

 

Same here, pulled the intake off to swap it with the LS6 then found rat ****...

 

hahaha, thats insane....yea, i've got the LS6 PCV, and its only on that cylinder, I didn't suspect gone ring cause I have no oil burning coming out of my tailpipes. Anyone else before I button it back up?

Thanks!

 

Kory, is your car gonna run...ever? That last surgery you put it under must have been when the **** appeared!

 

Could be a valve oil seal going bad.

 

LMAO...yea I just got to drop the k member now then pull the pan. It will be done today hopefully.

 

Glad to hear it. Make sure you get all **** and paper towels out before you take it for a spin.

 

Hahaha definitely. Hopefully I can swap out the rod bolts to when I am in there.

 

Always a good idea. Especially since you are gonna be cranking out the higher RPM's with that magic stick.
