twistedneck said:its pretty sad that for all this time i was driving and looking at oil oozing out of the pcv inlet to the intake.. i was like, is that just leaky or is it extra oily? i bet a good catch can, or better yet a breather system would have dealt with the blow by issue w/o a problem.
Only 15,000 miles and it looks this bad (see pics below) - the cam overlap, huge amount of extra overlap in my cam tune, and a lot of blow by oil!!!

if the new O2 sensors fix the misfires and IF i can keep the oil out of the intake - will that carbon on number 8 cylinder ever go away? it looks like it would cost HP. piston tops and combustion chambers bad too..
Twisted neck:
Oh I am sorry to see that carbon build up. When you run all of that top engine cleaner through your intake system, you should then change your engine oil and filter.
Wonder if your engine is also suffering from excessive cylinder blow by? Might be worth running a cylinder leak down test. It's a pain, but it might identify a cylinder for you to more closely examine upon tear down.
I have read the new Aluminator engines are running Manley rods and Mahle pistons, if so that might be an option.
Is this a "U" code 302 CID engine?
Good luck with your repairs
