beat it up???
what weight synthetic you using? Just curious when was the last time that PCV valve was changed? Prolly not a bad idea to change it cause you don't know what the previous owner did as far as maintence

I'd do the LS6 PCV mod. It's relatively cheap if you're confident enought to do it yourself.

Maybe we all misunderstood how you came off. Just be smart and be safe on the road. Thanks.

Your car is going to blow up September 17th 2006 @ 7:02 PM EST, have a tow truck handy, and mark your calender.
People have had LS1's blow up at 50k with a cam only while some have made it to 200k on a 150 shot every day of their lives. Its a crap shoot. I understand how much fun it is to rag on your car, hell thats what they're for. I slam through the gears at least once a day in mine, and these days I have calmed down big time. Every single drive used to entail a 3 gear blast. I bought the car at 85k, ragged on it for 25k, put the cam in it at 110k, and it now has 113k making enough power to threaten 120mph in the 1/4.
Seriously though, this website, you will find, is one of the most mature on the intarweb. Its more like a family than any site you will find, name calling results in extreme slamming, and remorse is easily accepted. Irresponsible behavior is not celebrated or respected, and you usually get flamed.
Frying 4 sets of tires is OK.......... if you are #1 in points for the USA drifting competition, but most would call it "excessive".
I get more pleasure out of laying low and creeping around. People around here KNOW that my car will blow the tires off and do donuts at the drop of the pedal, I don't need to prove it. That gets expensive and leaves you nothing to look forward to when your tires wear out

fwiw...if the oil is too thick, the viscosity will prevent it from properly lubricating the main and rod bearings. The ls1 has fairly tight bearing clearances, that is why the manual calls for the thinner oil, unlike that old 85 silverado.
