Nothing changed as far as the KR goes.

I changed

1)intake gaskets
2)new intake manifold/new rails, injectos, tb, etc - whistling air leak sound gone
3)new knock sensors/harness
4)ordered catch can today


I really do need to get a wideband on this thing, but I don't believe it's going lean causing the knock...reason being the o2 sensors stay constant from no knock to when it supposedly knocks

 

you got a log and tune you can post?

 

Sure Corey

 

Did you have the severe oil consumption before installing the TSP heads?

 

My motor doesn't burn any oil. I wasn't even aware of oil being sucked into the intake until I pulled it off.

 

Ok, let me re-iterate myself then. Did you have your intake manifold dripping so severely of oil before installing the texas speed cylinder heads?

 

Yes. It was like that with the 4.8. And I was being dramatic. There were 1 or 2 drops of oil from the intake manifold. It is more or less a light mist of oil covering all the intake ports. From what I understand this is common on LS engines. I even saw a picture of a LS7 intake manifold that had oil pooled in the bottom

 

Well, FYI I just swapped intake manifold gaskets and an oil pressure sending unit on a coworkers '00 LS1 vette. It actually poured out and left a puddle on his garage floor when I set his intake on end. I was like WTF. I reassemled everything and it's fine but still, I've seen it anyways.

 

Remove your PCV and put breathers on your valve covers.. I did that on mine so i would stop blowing oil out of the passenger side valve cover that i had a small filter on when i got in boost..

this way no oil is goin in your intake

 

Yep, I think my truck has the really bad PCV system on it too. I'll be interested to see how much oil the can catches.
