Default Oil film on throttle body!

Is this blow buy from ring flutter or a faulty pcv system? How does one tell?

Coming from your PCV most likely. Not nececarily faulty, seems to be quite common on the LS1's. Do you have an oil consumption problem?

Most likely from the crappy pcv system.

Whatever is blown by the rings goes out the tailpipes, not back into the intake. Its the PCV system.

When I took off my TB this past weekend, I turned it around to check it from the back and the whole back of the plate contained a film of dirty oil.

I just cleaned it and went back to work <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I've seen this on plenty of other cars also.

POS PCV system. I did the SH mod and it eliminated my KR and oil consumption.
