ridergoatee Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 You say oil in air filter? Possible ccv system problem. Make sure all is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 That is blow-by, very common in our trucks. Some people splice a catch bottle into the line between the valve cover and the air filter. Others solve it by upgrading to the 96+ (I think its 96+) valve cover; it has a better baffle in it and stops the oil from getting into the ccv line. Mjeff has a write up on it. If you do the VC upgrade you need to use the newer VC gasket too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratrapp Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 i did the valve cover upgrade and it cut my blowby down by over 50%,maybe more.plus now more crappy valve cover leaking.it's an upgrade well worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
