Default follow up on the PCV fix....

Well those who saw me post about the new 12572717 PCV fitting know that my car was using alot of expensive Mobil 1. After putting in the new valve and doing alot of long distance driving including a trip to Cecil to race I thought my car was fixed. I had put over 2000 miles on the car and the oil was still full. That was until yesterday. I was almost a full quart low and I am just over the 3000 mile mark on this oil..Did it fix my car?, looks like not really. It did slow down the oil consumption but not fix it. I'm hoping others will have better luck than me. Joe..

Does anyone know if we can just switch to the LS6 setup ? (PCV draws from the lifter valley) The parts cost a little less than $100 total. (If this will stop the problem)

Thanks,
Jeff

1 qt in 3k miles with a trip tot he track sounds efficient to me. Sounds like it worked.
