Nope just a motor craft air filter with the gotts mod, silencer delete, stock TB and elbow with a Dorman manifold. I'm hoping this MC PCV cuts my oil consumption in at least half.

No K&N, that's great! Sounds good, yea I bet it will be a lot better. How did the breather tube look, pretty clean inside ?

The one that goes from the back of the intake to the PCV? That's the one that had the oil in it. Or is the breather the one that goes from the intake tube to the drivers side valve cover?

Yea , the other side of the engine, from the air intake tube to the cam cover (valve cover) drivers side.

I didn't pull it off of the valve cover but there was no oil in my intake tube or on the intake tube side of the TB so I'm assuming it clean

Well, post up the results once you get it back together and put some miles on the new PCV and such. Curious to see the difference that makes.

Will do

I'm planning on pulling the intake next week if I can get a day off work and cleaning it and replacing all the gaskets and plugs

I run a catch can on the pcv side. Cut my oil consumption from 2.5 qts to a little over 1 qt per 5k mile oil changes.
