Thread: Burning oil

My car will walk any stock LS1 car now and LS fbodys cost 8-12k for a nice low mile 6spd car and I would have to spend another 3k on mods to make it keep up with my GTP.

That's true...but u can make them go faster with a little money..

Ok...so it seems that the valve seals didn't make any difference at all. It already went down 1/8th of an inch on the dipstick in 200 miles. Maybe ill just dump oil in it once a week the rest of the summer and tear the motor down in the fall. I'm almost at a loss. I swear it didn't burn a drop until after I tore it apart and put the genV/IC on in the spring. I don't know where else it could be drawing oil in from.

Do you have an oil breather on it or how do you have the pcv setup?

Me and Bill discussed PCV back on the first page. I have the rear PCV hole in the LIM re-drilled and moved over so that it lines up with the hole in the IC plate. The original hole is completely blocked off and sealed. So rear PCV should function like stock.

On the front nothing lined up with the stock PCV hole in the intake and it was blocked off so I drilled and tapped into the PCV passage through the side of the intake, put a hose barb on it and ran a hose to the coupler that connects the MAF to the TB. Essentially doing the same thing that running a hose from your front valve cover does.

I have checked the hose going from the front PCV to the intake pipe for oil, it was dry. I pulled the PCV cover off of the supercharger case, there was oil residue in it but it wasnt full of oil or anything. I replaced the PCV valve at that time.
