Consumption was pretty darn bad for awhile. I'd go through about a new quart a week.

I only did the new PCV stuff and the valve stem seals last night, so I've not had a chance to test it extensively. But after the five-or-so minute test drive, the filler cap and surrounding area was clean--EXTREMELY relieving to me, and I hope it stays that way. We'll see how she behaves in the next couple of days.

And yeah, changed the oil a week or two ago, and haven't put many miles on her since; used HD-40 instead of the typical 10W-30, in hopes that the thicker oil would stay behind its seals.

Thank you for the tips. I'll keep an eye on that blow-by over the next couple of days, as it was really bad before.
