there is a procedure to clean the oil control rings, install a shield on a valve in the oil pan to control oil throw off and install a new design valve cover for better pcv function.

What I have trouble understanding is that before the lifters were replaced this was not an issue. Could something have happened while replacing the lifters? This issue started as soon as they were replaced.
