Thanks again guys..............ok, went thru my paperwork..............on the 2nd rebuild they used Total Seal CR069065 rings..............on the re-ring last year they used Hastings 2M552965 rings...........not sure what the deal is on these when i looked up on summit says not gapless.................but i do remember the guy saying he uses gapless rights, doesnt matter thats what in the car right now.

Will try a leakdown again, i have a cheapy set, half the time i cant even get it in the plug hole right.............might have to take it in to a pro shop for that.

Got rid of the rubber grommets i had in there...............curious any better filters i can get besides the cheapys i have now.

Took the car out awhile ago, slapped that puppy up to 5500 or so thru 2 gears, so far about 10 minutes after i got home, 2 small drops, will check in the morning again.......i should have cleaned out the inspection cover before doing this................yeah, too lazy to crawl under the car.

Per Mike, im gonna get a smoke machine....................just a quick question, are you able to tell if the smoke comes out by the oil pan bend in the back compared to a rear main seal leak..............looks like there pretty close.

Will look into that wagner pcv valve............little spendy but im wasting way more money trying every pcv in exsistence.................the bulters pcv valve wasnt excately cheap either...........lol

Any other ways to test if your pcv system isnt up to par.............im pretty sure my hose isnt the issue, i can run a q-tip in the hose, maybe a hair of oil in it, but thats it.

I do appreciate all the help i get from you guys.............i will get this oil leaking fixed one way or the other.

With everything working right, the breathers are really air intakes into the engine and the PCV system is the output. So cheap breathers can leak a little oil out on the valve covers or a mist under full throttle when the PCV can't handle 100% of the blowby. Better breathers have more mesh in them to strain oil vapor. If the breathers are not leaking oil, I wouldn't worry about them. Sounds like the problem may go away with some more driving.

Moroso breathers are pretty good, and don't get much mist. They are kind of larger, have a divider in them, as well as some 'mesh' (which looks like a cut up 3M pad stuff).

The Billet Specialties ones I run on the one car are great, little to no mist out of those, but do have a repop valley pan (oe type baffle).

Those sheet metal valley pans are almost impossible to prevent them from sucking oil if you run the PCV in them, not even sure why they put the boss on those, they suck, and yes, pun intended!
