Default oil in my b16 manifold.

i keep reading thats its normal, people saying thats its from the pcv valve. well i never had this problem before then i swap in thisnew motor and i kept feeling my throttle sticking so i took off the throttle body to give it a good once over and the whole thing is caked in fresh oil.i have a breather on the valve cover so none of thisshit would be re routed back into the intake? my roomate says its major"builds and races chevys" but i keep reading its no big deal? i mean its there for a reason know all of a sudden with this new motor and it wasnt there before so whats going on? what causes it to do this?

If you are boosted like your sig says then my guess is the oil seals on the turbo are gone and leaking oil into the intake tract.

Sorry about that I just kind of guessed you were boosted So you don't have the PCV hooked to the intake? What kind of substance is it? Oil, carbon??? Try to clean it out and then decarbonize the engine with some seafoam or small amount of water.

The oil probably got in there thru the hose that runs from the valve cover to the intake tube. That is what makes a oil catch can nice.

there is no hose going from the valve cover to the intake,i have had a breather on there for the last 2 engines so that it would not be re routed into the motor.its not carbon its pure oil.keep em coming guys

Do you have the hose that runs by the injectors ( hooked to the pcv ) and runs to the top of the mani ? If so that's where the oil and fuel are coming from, its all blow by that was in the crank case.

How do the spark plugs look? Any oil on them? Is the motor "consuming" oil?
