HISSIN50 said:depends how much oil is present. generally it is not uncommon. the low tension rings and forged pistons (which are have greater tolerances in the pots than hyper pistons do) lead to some blow by. the PCV introduces this oily stuff into the intake.
a catch can and filter are a means to help with this, if it bothers you.
good luck.
Yes the oil splash shield was in place, and I replaced the pcv screen.Michael Yount said:When you installed the Explorer intake did you notice if the lower had the oil splash shield covering the underside of the back 1/3? Did you replace the oil trap/screen beneath the grommet that holds the pcv valve? Those two pieces are designed to limit the pickup of oil from the crankcase. If those are in place and working properly (screen isn't clogged, grommet seals pcv tightly) then installing a catch can or separator on the line between pcv and the intake will help reduce the amount of oil being picked up by the pcv circuit.

i think Don runs a restrictor if you want to get particulars (he is a very articulate guy).stang1986GT said:Also, I read in another post that someone took a pipe fitting, drilled a 1/16 hole in it and put it in the tube that goes from the filler neck to the TB and it greatly reduced oil consumption.
speed shops sell cheap cans that can be fitted with fittings for the can, or you can make your own. a soup can makes a good one.slowhatch82 said:im having the same problem on mine, its not a whole lot, but i still dont like it in there...just the thought..
i guess putting a filter in the line would just cause it to clog up?
or does anyone know where to get a cheap catch can?
thanks,
