JUST replaced the pcv valve, guess ill pull the intake again and clean it. What else could be clogged?

Don't know if you're on facebook at all but my friend has a 70k LT1 for sale for decent money. Billy Fowler is his name(if the post doesn't redirect you to the thread.)

If it needs a new engine Id just pull and rebuild this one and suffer driving the f150 till next spring lol but thanks for the link.

New might mean defective unless it was doing it before? Did you check the hoses from it if they aren't blocked?

Its been doing this for 6 months now? Replaced the valve a month ago with no change. All hoses are clear.

Would tossing some compressed air into the pcv inlet dislodge anygunk long enough to see if thats the issue? Would it hurt anything?

Ok so, pcv valve sucks like a mofo, pulled it out of intake and put my finger up to it and it about sucked it into the engine. So its def working.

Anything else I can check easy that I might be over looking?

I noticed some fluctuating oil pressure WOT last time I drove it, didn't move much but a little, Ill toss some seafoam in the oil before next oil change and let it run for a few min before I dump it and see if that helps either situation.

I guess next step will be pulling the intake? I'm at a loss really lol

For shits I put a piece of tube to the pcv grommet and blew into it and I can hear air reaching the TB, dunno if this matters or not.

Maybe try a cheap vent on the oil cap? I don't run a pcv so what do I know lol

Zfreie what exactly is the problem with your engine.

if the rubber lines are old and deteriorated they could be collapsing under vaccum causing no ventilation

So when you pulled the pcv out and ran the car. did the gromet the pcv goes into blow air out while it was running? if NOT then the belly pan is full of shit.
