  5. I think his name is AJ.
  6. Happy birthday Doc! Good news is the fiery crash cant be any worse than a rally with me.
  7. Tom there is more than a 5% chance of rain, we all know you won't make it.
  8. I know some guy that has one of those turbo sky things. I think they are RWD.
  9. I'm guessing it's a bad slave cylinder. Have you bled it at the slave or just vacuum?

  11. I wish this was as nice as a Porsche, as smooth as a porsche, good interior like a porsche but cheap as a gm. i wish this was a used porsche.
  12. The vent on my valve cover is to pull clean air into the crankcase and the pcv from the intake is to push the dirty air out. I believe thats the same on the SBC, the valve cover is pulling air in, not pushing it out. The "oil separator" seems to be nothing more than a baffled catch can. It just gives the oil more time and more surface area to condense from the air.
  13. brb, digging in my back yard for oil money.
  14. This seems like the best solution but are there any negatives to this route? The car has a FAST intake, ls6 heads and a LQ9 block. I assume its still the LS6 style. The hose comes out just under the throttle body. That seems to be the verdict on all the LS motors. Lots of blow by and oiling issues. Bitter sweet to hear its all too common.
  15. The stroker motor in my corvette has a fair amount of crank case pressure. It currently does not have a pcv valve but in it's place is a non baffled catch can. During hard driving, expecially track time the catch can fills with oil and then proceeds to allow dirty air back into the intake. At first I got scared and thought it was weak rings and excessive blow by but after running compression tests and extensive online reading I found that it's common with most LS motors and way more prevalent in stroker motors. Possibly do to the piston traveling too far into the bore and allowing a little bit of air by. The motor is healthy as far as the dyno goes as well. There are a million ideas on various forums but my question is do I need to have any of the crankcase air return into the intake at all? It is fed back in after the air meter but i still don't think it would matter. Their is also a line from the valve cover to just after the air cleaner and before the air meter but it's completely dry of oil, as well as the intake up to the throttle body. My current plan is to run a larger baffled catch can or to vent the oil filler cap and run 2 catch cans but I would really like some input.
  16. Anywhere that has flat rate techs will charge book time. Its how the techs make money. independent or not. Their diagnose being more than their hourly seems shady. No real first hand experience with mag. Just opinions based on others.
  17. Not defending MAG but the few shops i have first hand experience with will charge their hourly rate to diagnose a problem. That wont go away if they fix it or not. That being said the shop i use to work for gets a ton of work from mag customers that had the same experience you described.
