Major oil consumption issue, need help
Leaving work today I noticed my truck was smoking ALOT, smelled like burning oil but cleared up after 5 minutes. I checked the mighty mouse catch can and noticed there was more than there should be in it. It has been on about a full week. When I got home I drained it and got almost 8 ounces out of it. It was literally over filling into the intake and burning it. It never burned oil like this before.
I recently put a fast lsxr-t on it and the catch can. Now my question is do I have it hooked up right? Or do I all the sudden have a serious oil consumption issue all the sudden.
Hooked up as follows,
Passenger valve cover to can
Drivers valve cover to intake tube/ after MAF
Other side of can to intake manifold
Few pics, total about 8 OZ in one week
First drain, filled an entire spray paint cap
Oil I missed draining, about 8x8 inches
Last bit I got out of it
How it's hooked up

Well, I may have decided on a 6.2 swap. In my area motors are extremely expensive. I have a buddy in Michigan who can get me a 80k mile 6.2 and do a vvt delete and cam kit for $3200 shipped to me. He had been in the game a while and knows his stuff. So I'm pretty positive I'm going that route.

Is the 6.2 a 58x/4x motor? If so, you need to plan for that. The Lingenfelter box is the easiest way, else you are changing the reluctor wheel on the crank or changing the crank altogether, either way, it's coming out.
