As I have posted before, I'm in the process of breaking in an engine and I have started to notice oil dripping on the valve covers. I noticed that it is coming from the throttle body from the spring mechanism. So I took off the air inlet and noticed that there is oil coming from the throttle body and going down to the MAF. When I look inside the intake, it is wet with oil.

I'm lost for words. I want to get this car up and running but now I have a little set back. Could this be the rings are not seated? Could this be PCV?

Any help will be good. I haven't done a leak down test yet.

Thanks

check the pcv valve.......other than that, only way to get oil in the intake is an intake gasket not sealing

make sure the screen is under the pcv valve, it's what is under the grommet, it's a round cylinder like thing

would the pcv valve be behind your intake manifold? by the firewall?

Ok let me try that. I'm using a stock Pcv valve, which I haven't replaced, however, I did put a new filter screen in there. I have a supra pcv which is smaller, just need to get something to hold it

Yes any no. I'm using a holley Systemax 2 intake with 1" spacer. This is on a new engine first time using this intake
