I have about 5000 miles on my swapped motor (Not rebuilt) and i have noticed it uses some oil and tends to make a noticable smell during Boosted Accelaration, and decel. For oil control i have a New motorcraft pcv valve and i have a Element style Breather on the valve cover. The element is saturated now and is getting my Freshly painted valve cover all messy. Is this element also the source of the smell? I think its oil vapor, but i really dont know. The car uses about 1/2qt every 1000 miles or so, which i dont mind because it runs well and and smokes on startup. What other kind of breather setup can i run to avoid the mess and the smell i am getting? I know i probably need valve stem seals, but i dont want to do that right now. Any suggestions?
And my idle question, I have a good idle now, but its a little rough at times. While cleaning up the garagei noticed that the turbocoupe throttle body had what appears to be a IAC adustment plate (see photo) Is this worth installing? Any disadvantages to installing this?
