I've cleaned everything and I'm still getting blow by. Any suggestions on what I should try next?

Thanks in advance,

here's what ya need to do to help it.. Pull the valve cover and clean it thoroughly, clean all the parts udner the cover with some brake cleaner and get some of the gunk out of top area of the head. Then you need to replace you CCV valve elbows and the hoses attached to them. replace valve cover using a good gasket. This will help but won't prevent blow by completely.

this was suggested by "okcjeeper" (a cf admin.) in another post about blow by issues. might help.

Thanks VT. I'll try that. Hopefully that will work. I can't keep replacing my air filter every other week.
