PCV Valve on intake manifold

Jon,
I have a strong running 418w stroker that consumes a lot of oil, so you have my attention. Currently I'm not running a PVC. I have baffle plates in both valve covers with breathers.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Dan

I hear ya... same issue. No consumption for the first 300-500 miles after an oil change, then it increases dramatically. Talked to Jim Grubbs Motorsports last night... he wondered if maybe the head gaskets had collapsed & were sucking oil that way. He suggested pulling the carb & looking inside the intake. Will get more info tomorrow when I drop by his shop.
