Do you have the Aviaid dry sump insert?

No, all stock LS7. I can understand where the Aviaid shield may reduce to oil mist flow the PCV circuit to the intake, though.

Okay, thanks. I did hear you mention all stock LS7, but given the topic, it was a little unclear to me.

Good info, sounds like that catch can is doing its job.

My belief was that the Aviaid tank insert would reduce or eliminate it. Even with the catch can installed, when I removed the intake manifold to locate the damaged lifter, there was oil beading around the intake ports on the heads. That could explain the oil consumption problem I've been having. We shall see.

I also have the KaTech Oil pump, (blue printed version), and the LPE large tank with the baffle and the oil pan kit with the gates, and I get almost nothing in the catch can.
