LLtek has a carbon fiber Brillo holder, adds at least 5hp....

"but seriously, folks!", Bernie's on the money with this one, the
most common source is by far the CCV system.  You can -almost-
completely eliminate the problem by installing Total Seal rings, but
that requires a tad bit of work :-)

One inventive lad built a separator out of PVC pipe and several
(plastic) scouring pads.  I might have opted for the wire ones(won't
melt/easier to clean I would guess.)

How much does it cut back on oil in the intake, Bernie?  A noticeable
difference?
