Default Re: Crankcase ventilation

I have a question why run low tension rings in a motor that already has crankcase issues in stock form? especially a street car.

Anyway if you look in the FSM check PCV valves working properly you will see it says to put a vacuum gage at the dipstick tube rev to 1500rpm you should have vacuum if no vaccum you have a leak it gives you examples oil pan gasket,valve cover etc.

I had a breather/filter in my cam cover fill cap and was getting nothing but oil.

All the big bore engines here have no issues they don't have low tension rings.
They run a catch can from PCV's and vaccum to catch can.

RonStar what engine/mods do you have?

Todd, how many miles on your motor? enough for ring seal/break in.
