That's me. Now the Elring gasket is in and so far so good. The PCV & tubing was clear. The old VR valve cover gasket had completely failed and 5 of 6 spark plug wells were full of oil; I think a long left sweeper caused oil to dump onto the exhaust, causing the white smoke-out. I'm blaming the VR gasket for now, and will update if things change. Sorry for the alarm.

Another Update at 2,000 miles AFTER CCV Mod: Zero oil consumption.
See the detail of my setup in post #164.

Quick update - just passed over 25k miles with this mod. At 214000 miles engine runs like new - no codes and no oil consumption! My setup in posts 36 and 41.

For how long you are using vr
I've used it and used China and oem all are same but you have to add rtv to avoid leak especially in oem from the agent otherwise it's the worst valve cover I've Seen and vr is the best
