When I broke the intake back down later on I found fresh oil all inside the intake and the pcv valve was pretty buttery too. I am definitely thinking of using a catch can after seeing this happen only running for 30 seconds.... I think the pcv valve was bad so I replaced it too and that may have been the bigger issue but still...

Let me know what kind of catch can you go with cornerstone.
Thanks man. I still consider a build thread every now and then. I guess the reason for no build thread is because I just hate trying to come up with a name. Yeah- that's a dumb reason. I check in on the build thread section nearly everyday, because it keeps me thinking forward and gives me new ideas for what I've got coming down the road on my truck. I'm always looking forward to see huge progress and awesome creativity in others work, and thanks to you, MDPotter, Sprint_9, 87chevy, gringoloco, siggyfreud, J3rmOff, Beaterku, 1971Stepside, cebra, YBnormal, P7M89MM, trkfrk, roushinator, Metaldoc, lolife99, n2billet, 6t9camaro, 68 short step, Vic1947, Knomadd, LS1nova71, Grumpy old man, aboesec10.... I could go on and on. I do like the idea of contributing more if for no other reason to help the next guy trying to undertake this "quick swap"

I'm still trying to understand how to plumb a catch can, so don't hold your breath on seeing it soon.
