My 89 uses a bit of oil. I run the stock valve covers with a good set of roller rockers and had to clearance the oil fill baffle with a grinder years ago. It uses about a quart between oil changes, could that be the cause? I used to have an Edelbrock Performer EFI intake on her and when I took the side of the plenum off the first four runners were oil darkened. My heads have about 50 000 miles on them but were built in a good shop with quality parts. No blue smoke in exhaust, no oil smell. My short block is a CHP pro street with the low comp pistons but it's only got 10000 miles on it. The old engine had the same issue. PCV valve rattles freely. Any chance replacing that baffle would fix my problem?
