anybody with any suggestions on how to eliminate the oil blow by i'm getting on my 89 GT i recently installed an SN92 blower and it runs awesome but i'm still getting blowby. I've removed the hose from the valve cover to the TB and also put a k&n breather filter on my valve cover and i also am running a hose from my pcv valve to a port on my anderson power pipe on the intake side(non boosted) I'm really not sure what to do or how to hook up a catch can which some of the import boys around here have been suggesting to me. thanks for any advice, (pics of catch can setups would be helpful)

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Usually a lot of blow by = worn piston rings!

try taking the rubber grommet, and PCV valve completly out and plugging it. I used a piece of aluminum for myne. that might help, but if the rings are worn there isnt much you can do.
