Looking for info on upgrading/improving oil system Trying to find out what people with serious oil consumption/burning issues, or even just simply upgrading, are doing to fix/upgrade their oil management system. I looked around for articles or "how to" online but Im not finding much. In particular, Id like to look at the PCV valve, maybe a catch can, and LS6 valley cover/oil management. There is a lot of oil in my intake area. Where are people getting the parts from and whats involved?

Re: Looking for info on upgrading/improving oil system well... i put an LS6 PCV setup on and sucked more oil than I did before :omg:
So afterwards I put a catch can on and it solved the oil getting into the intake problem... but I still lose oil in the catch can now... so I'm thinking of disconnecting the PCV and switching to a breather.
Catch Can is the easiest to do though... buy some hose from sears, and a air/water seperator plus fittings. Goes on easy, easy to tuck away and it works
