Major Oil Loss!!! The GM Valve Cover Swap That Could Save Your 5.3 LS Engine / Motor How To Tutorial
My 2006 GMC Envoy Denali was burning through a quart of oil for every tank of gas. Something had to be done, and a quick search landed me at the valve cover. GM designed them wrong, causing oil loss and lifter failures on many of their trucks and SUV's. This swap takes 15-30 minutes, and costs less than the oil you would burn.
This really works!!! I quit burning oil once the swap was completed. Unfortunately, I was sideswiped a couple months later. Follow me to see what I've replaced it with. A jaguar X-Type Sportwagon!!!

    Did it fixed your problem? My 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe has 121k km on it, and I’ve noticed it’s starting to lose engine oil. I inspected it and found no smoke or leaks, but I can’t seem to figure out the issue. Additionally, my fuel range used to be 500 km on a full tank, but now it’s down to 420 km. I’m also planning to replace the oxygen sensor this week, but the oil loss is really worrying me. I always change my oil on time or even before it’s due-usually when I have 30-35% oil life remaining. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

    I just bought this gun...I think my compressor is underpowered and my curly air line is not helping. It uses ALOT of medium and it doesn't last long. I will say this - when it works, it works well for light dirt and light rust removal and some paints. But, it is always clogging even though I have a filter on it and sift the material. I'm going to play with the setup. If it would just be consistent I would be perfectly OK with it for what I need.

    • @billmonroe8826

      It starte with the 07.5. They they never made any attempt to fix the oil consumption problem. GM actually said the oil consumption was normal in order to not warranty anything. The sad part is that GM continued to build their AFM system the same way for years! They must pay their engineers to sit on their ass and not fix their issues!

    I have the 5.3 L but I'm going use the old covers and drill out as suggested by many mechanics and several RUclips videos. About 13 holes in total on the underside baffle and and driil out the PCV hole larger. About 1/4 hole. Also one guy is advising a full court of ATF in engine. My 5.3L suburban started using a lot of oil suddenly when I started driving it more in the winter and idling a lot. I'm using synthetic oil now the last three changes.

  • @Salmon_Rush_Die
    @Salmon_Rush_Die Год назад

    Did a 280K mi. VC gasket job recently. They were the originals lmao. The engine certainly burns a certain amount of oil due to hi mileage, but the main oil loss issue has always been leakage -- not any more. Oil consumption has been very negligible since forever. My guess is your oil consuption through the pcv system is because there is apparently no valve in the positive crankcase vent. Mine has a valve & no problems.

    I’ve done this upgraded valve cover in my 2006 Silverado with the 5.3 vortec years ago and it changed absolutely nothing. The oil consumption was still as before. What the real culprit is, is that there is but one tiny oil drain hole which if I remember correct is after the Pcv valve which makes absolutely no sense as the oil has already been sucked into the intake by then. You need to drill about four extra small holes on the baffle about an inch apart or so. then clean the crap out of it with brake cleaner and an air compressor. I did this on mine and the oil consumption has been next to zero. Here’s a link to the RUclips video I followed m.ruclips.net/video/CePGNsAkcYQ/видео.html
