Maybe, in 10 years when the car finally craps out, and the rebuild shows evidence it was caused by oil ingestion I'll be eating my words, but right now I'm good with what GM has originally designed.

An oil analysis will show you if you cared to see what is happening, but I guess you just want to interfere and have no desire to learn or share actual info. I have gone into pretty great detail and will post more pictures for anyone to see if they want, just ask. Your have the right to opinions, but facts and real life hold more credability in my book. And by all means, don't put one on any of your vehicles as its clear your fine with the way it came.

I do know that burnt oil will leave deposits on the valves and top of the piston which is not good.

The pooled oil is drawn into the combustion chamber and will cause the deposits. We like to clean all the pooled oil out at install time that you can and any small amounts of residue will not make a big differance. The important part is making sure the ingestion is stopped going forward.
