Ok so car has been sitting for a while I took it out lastnite for a lil spin got on it through 1st 2nd and wen I hit third I heard a little pop so pulled in my garages And seen one Intercooler pipe popped off then opened the hood and there was oil on top of my vc long story short I pulled the plug wire from cylinder 4 and it wAs filled with oil to where I couldn't see the plug same with 2 and 3 but not nearly as bad the car seemed like it was runnin fine at idle and all could this jus be the gromets idk lmk what you guys think there was a little oil on the bottom of the plug but other than that plugs look new

spoon93

Ideas?

Use periods. Could be moving oil past gaskets from crankcase pressure. Before my catch can on my stock LS I would leak oil like mad from the VC gaskets.

Ok so I should replace gaskets an get oil catch can or do I have to get extra fittings on my vc

If your car doesn't smoke out the exhaust, then most likely it's the valve cover gasket Is leaking oil into the spark plugs

jubbeng

check those round valve cover gasket that goes over the spark plug hole

I did there jus covered in oil there pretty new but I think I made a mistake of putting gasket sealer on the gaskets when I first put them on. If right I beleve ur not supposed to use the sealer on new gaskets?

Ive used RTV almost everytime

Wat gasket you use oem the one I got was from autozone it was orange

spoon93

Lightning teg anoTher Ques did you have ur valve cover vented on ur ls turbo if so you think that's possibly my prob

93ls10.0

my ls had the same prob put two 1/2" npt vents off it to catch can not one problem since

spoon93

Nice do you have any pics by chance?

LightningTeg

Yeah I did. If you have an OBD2 block (which has almost nothing for a PCV system vs the older blocks) you may need a catch can for higher boost.

spoon93

Looks nice bro. And ya I have a 94 ls swap in there so guess I gotta figure out how to vent my vc huh

cleansi

if your going to vent the valve cover you should just go ahead and vent the back of the block heres a link to some fittings for b series. dont know what block you have. just get a quart size breather and your good to go..
there are also a lot of threads on how to diy.

i always use a little rtv....
