New info on GM PCV valve fix....
Re: New info on GM PCV valve fix.... I know Im getting blow by from the pvc because when I did my ls6 intake on monday I could see oil buildup in my throttle body as well as in the intake runners of the cylinders.
I'm guessing that this isn't helping make any power, so what can I do to eliminate it?
PSJ, did I understand correctly that you just plugged yours? Does that throw any codes?

Re: New info on GM PCV valve fix.... Ok guys just got back from the track and checked my oil level since the new valve. It is still 100% full. (its usually down 1 quart after a weekend of racing)It looks like so far the valve is doing the trick. I will keep you guys posted.

Re: New info on GM PCV valve fix.... So this would replace the "mod" I have made with some fuel filters? <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

LS1JM,
Is this all you did? Just switch out PCV valves, and your oil consumption was eliminated? No other things done to the car?

Re: New info on GM PCV valve fix.... Do your LS1's consume oil???

Or you just give em hell!! <img src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" border="0" alt="[devil]" /> "Not that it's a bad thing"!! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

silicone hose connecting the MAF and the TB. Had to cut off about 1/2" on mine to make it so the lid would go back on. It's smooth, not an accordian like the OME piece.

Re: New info on GM PCV valve fix.... The only down side is a constant vaccum leak
