> its the hose that is connected to the valve cover that runs around to the passenger side of the intake manifold. Im not sure you are correct with where the oil is going, 01 and 02s shouldnt have oil going into the intake since its an ls6 intake. Usually having longtube headers will burn some oil, maybe its that douschebag person that installed your cam, did you get new valve seals or anything?

hmmm…not a dueshbag…hes actually a great mechanic. He was Trained at Lincoln Tech for 2 years in Florida.

yes, I had brand new valve seals and everything installed. Brand new everything. He wouldnt even do the install without new valve seals.

FYI, LS1 cars with ported oil pumps DO burn/consume oil. WOT I see 80psi, idle is 60psi. Stock it was 40psi idle and 60 WOT…BIG difference. Check around. MOST LSx cars running high pressure oil setups all have a catch can…

Also, Like I have said before I have pulled off the throttle body and seen oil in the intake manifold walls…SO its blowing through the PCV hose and going into the intake manifold…
