I have been reading on the oil use thing since I have 1. Seems to be PCV in most cases. I think I came up with another mod. I took a crankcase filter out of an older chevy breather and removed the element, using 1/3rd of it and puting it in the tube rite before the pcv vave. Pullout pcv valve and put it in. Not stuffing but making it fit. 1 oil change on record but NO OIL USE! Change element every oil change. Monitor at ur driving habits. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> hopes this helps! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

the pcv system on the LS1, to my knowledge, sucks a mist of oil from the valve covers into the intake.( oil flies in there. not like the old SB's). It doesn't have time to settle. If you'll look through the throttle body, you'll see oil in the intake, coming from the pcv hole. Kinda fans out from the hole. That's what I'm talking about. I did my mod and no oil use so far! AND LOOKS STOCK! After I inserted the crankcase breather element, I blew and sucked air, to feel the air flow, and it was nonrestricked. Not free, but good flow. Now the element got saturated with oil but I did not use any. Level stayed the same for 3000 miles. I was adding 1&1/2 qts per 3000 miles. I sure hopes this hepls. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
