| Re: I was wrong it wasnt the pcv valve That looks pretty gnarly to me. I've never seen a TB with that much burned oil in it, even on cars with 150k miles. Are you running a paper filter or an oiled type, such as K&N or Volant? If it's oiled, you need to clean it and re-oil it with VERY little oil, becuase there's too much now.
If paper, and you're getting that kind of oil buildup, I'd be tempted to cap those PCV lines with a breather filter to keep my oil level from getting low due to large amounts of it getting sucked into the engine and burned. Can't be good for carbon buildup in the engine, either.
I'd say the first step is a good Seafoam treatment to clear out your passageways in the top half of the motor. Google "seafoam treatment" to get the directions. It's a mild detergent that will clear the crap out of the top end, and judging by those pictures, you've got a lot.
