I have a 93 with the LT1, 114,000 miles, no mods. I have fixed the intake manifold leak at the rear of the intake twice in one year. The last time I did the repair I installed a valve cover vent in the valve cover instead of the oil fill cap.
The vent causes the car to idle a little ruf but it has kept the gasket maker form blowing out again. Last week I decided to test it and took the vent out and reinstalled the oil fill cap. After about a week of driving the car, I checked the seals and saw oil residue at the rear and front of the intake manifold. It seems as if there is excess pressure building up and blowing out my gasket seals. I have replaced the PVC valve and the EGR valves and dont know what else to do.
Thanks for any help.
