Oil Problems... its everywhere....

[mytight95]

I have an edelbrock performer intake manifold, i have been gettting a backfire at high rpm on a shift, and oil all over the trans, bell area etc. I decided to pull the intake today to replace the lower intake gaskets as it is leaking on the lifter valley on the back side.... i discovered what is in the pictures....

Yup it can kill power by soaking you plugs with oil. Pull them and clean them up a bit, I remember a while ago reading people having oil consumtion problems with e-brock intake. It's been a while since it's come up you may want to try a search. Good luck.

I had the same issues with boost. It started blowing out of my breather and onto my headers. I just ordered an Ecav canister from Shogun and it will be here on Wednesday. I'll put up some pics and a review when I'm done.
I ran a hose from my vent tube in the oil filler neck into a can and WOW lots of friggn oil (~1/4 oz) after a few hard runs. I don't have a hole to run my vent tube into the PTK discharge tube so I had the vent tube capped off, thus making it come out of my breather. So running it into the vac can will catch the oil. The tube usually runs into the intake discharge tube and gets sucked up the intake.
Do you have that tube running into your discharge pipe going to the tb?

can you make the pics a bit larger please? they look like thumbnail pics from here.

Anyhow, your car shouldent be throwing that much oil, and if your na, you shouldent need any type of catch can, etc.
Varify your pcv system and all your gaskets are good.

Get irfanview. It's a great program, and it easily allows for resizing, etc.

i will work on the pics sizes...... my god/////lol

What gaskets could be bad to cause this...... I have a pcv valve its just one from the parts store could it be letting the motor pull too much vacuum or what....

I wouldn't think it is blow by the motor still has good compression etc....has hair under 100k on it....

you gotta love these kind of compliments in a help question or thread... Guess sometimes people just can't help being a smarta$$...



JR, Do you really think that the tube that goes from the valve cover to the CAI could really be pulling that much oil, my valve covers still have baffles. I think it is the PCV system as both vacuum lines that run to it, hook up in the spots where the oil is puddled in the intake. I don't know though i guess it could be draining down there.

Oil problems do suck (pardon the pun)

If your pcv is one of those that have a tree of connections, and one of the openings isnt capped or connected then it might cause something like your problem. Or if the pcv isnt the right one or malfunctioning (partially or fully clogged) then the engine would pull vaccuum from the breather tube and suck oil into the throttle body under high load. I went to just a straight breather cap with no vaccuum line to the air intake.
Just throwing ideas out there... Let us know what you find out...
good luck.
