So far the Seafoam and the addition of a PCV valve seem to have worked. In the last 200 miles, there has been no discernable oil usage. I will keep updating and hopefully, it is fixed.

Glad to hear that the problem seems to be fixed - i hope that holds. And nice job putting a PCV valve in, like the engine should have had from the start.

So far so good. Probably saved GM a couple dollars per vehicle not putting one in.

What size hose and T was used in this fix. Seems to be great fix.
@lukeFugate
@lukeFugate 8 месяцев назад
Yes, it seems to work well. I used 3/8 tubing. The parts store I was in didn't have a T big enough, so I used a 1/2 inch pex fitting. I had one left over from plumbing my house. It worked but was a little tight.

Mine is now sucking a lot no more blow by or so it seems so I want to do the valve deal like you did but want to make sure it'll work before I do so
@lukeFugate
@lukeFugate 2 месяца назад
I would say the pcv will help it. It is hard to tell if you have blowby after adding the pcv valve since it goes in the oil cap. I do know oil usage is good now. Maybe uses half a quart per oil change.

No, the check valve should prevent that. I haven’t checked that though.

The pcv valve is made in the valve cover
@lukeFugate
@lukeFugate 3 месяца назад
Unfortunately, they removed the PCV on this vehicle and just engineered the small hole in the intake to do the job. It doesn't work very well as it clogs up easily. I wanted one in the valve cover, but didn't want to take it off and drill it out. Putting it in the oil cap gives the same result and keeps the valve cover intact. I know most vehicles do have it in the valve cover but they decided to try something new I guess. Hopefully, they went back to putting it where it belongs in subsequent models.

Can you do a oil cap, paper test? You did it on the before and the other car as well.
@lukeFugate
@lukeFugate 8 месяцев назад
Good point. I should have shown that test again. It is better, but still has a little blowby. I think the rings are just worn some due to running with low oil. It runs fine, but it will make the paper wiggle a bit still.
@rossrobertson5622
@rossrobertson5622 Месяц назад
I bought a new oil cap that has a pressure valve built into it. I think it does the same job.
@lukeFugate

It does help. I guess I just like the idea of having the pcv.
