Default Guys I need your help! Please reply!

I know that this isn't the truck forum but I can't get them to answer me.

I have a 2002 Silverado with a 5.3 engine. I saw one guy that had a air and water separator for an air compressor so I used this on my truck and I am getting about 1/4 oz oil per driving trip going into my intake until I put this device inline with my PVC Valve. I even have the updated PVC Valve. How long do you think it will take my truck to stop smoking and oil in the intake to dry up?

Thanks Lee! Sorry to bother you! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

If the smoke was caused by the burning oil, it should stop basically immediately, or within the first drive.

If you had a really bad PCV oil problem, you should think about running some GM Top Engine Cleaner through your system. Get the spray version - costs about $7 from a dealer parts house. That should help clean out your intake.

Search this site for more info on it.

You sure the smoke is from the pcv? Not elsewhere?

Thanks Guys for all you help!

I am not totally sure but I have the air compressor filter that mello Yellow has and I catched about 1/4 oz of oil in 22 miles of driving. The smoking only occurs if I let my truck idle for about 5min and blip the throttle. I have to blip the throttle it doesn't occur any other time. So I thought that this oil might puddle in the intake then when I hit the throttle quickly that is when the blue smoke puffs out the tailpipe.
I FIRST thought it was valve seals or guides but wouldn't it smoke like first thing in the morning when I start it up. It wont smoke a drop this away! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
