      There is also a new style pcv valve without the bigger hole and rattle, it is a smaller pin-hole ls-truck style. I believe I found it on WS6STORE.COM and swapped mine.

        I have an elite engineering catch can for the LT5. I should probably have two, one for both driver's side and passenger side. LT5's ingest oil like a pro.

        This is normal at high RPM:

          Nice find! This seems like the way to go... $7.49 as opposed to $95 and less stuff in the engine bay...

          I'd buy it, but the site isn't working right...

            you can get the truck restrictor anyplace. i use the restrictor with the catch can. it doesnt help the oil issue much

                    Helped me a little bit, still drinking almost a quart every 1000.

                      wow thats pretty extreme, I'd be checking elsewhere because thats not just the pcv.

                          What about rigging up the air pump as a vacuum pump?

                          Used to own a Firebird.

                              holy shit. do LS motors really have that big of a problem with oil control issues?

                                no, a quart every 3K might be a little more accurate
