4.6 intake manifold help

Did you replace your intake with a PI intake?

Thanks for the response. I am pretty sure it is a non-PI intake. After reading a little more about it from the link on your signiture I may try that. That forum states that you should be able to do the conversion for around $300 or so. Considering I paid $400 for the intake I bought to replace the cracked one. I still don't understand why I'm burning oil now, though. I don't think the PI cam/manifold switch will fix that. I don't want to change the heads on it, as that would entail more money and more down time for my car. I need to drive it as my only other ride is a motorcycle and its still to cold out to ride it to work.

Do a compression test. It sounds like you may be getting blow by with excess oil in the T/B.
