PCV question?
I have been complaing about the oil consumption on my 01 Z06 and finally the dealer said it has oil in the pcv system and he also found oil around throttle body. He said this might be the fix for oil consumption. Has anyone else heard or experienced this before.
Thanx

Re: PCV question? (z06 Rules)
z06 rules, the PCV system will suck oil but just enough to lower your octane and get some ping/knock from it. You may have the ring issue. Do a search, there are lots of post. I would be very amazed if the PCV could suck more then 1/4 qt per 3000 miles. There is a good aftermarket fix for this.
