bozwell Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 right noticed my pvc valve has been sucking up alot off oil, got a catch can from it to the intake, this morning cleaned it all up blocked the pipe at intake started it up and no smoke did the same after work and no smoke, why does it get past the catch can,, any other way i can set this up,, and keep the intake pipe blocked off with a silicone cap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 With the car idling unscrew the oilcap and see do the revs drop dramatically Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I wouldnt worry about oil on the sparkplug thread, if plugs show signs of oil in the tips Id been concerned. Valvestem oil seals are the.usual culprit for.oil burning on startup but yours symtoms are more like piston rings or blocked breather pipe Edited April 4, 2013 by rmsnoel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snazzyblowfish Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I had my entire spark plug and the tubes they go in full of oil, I changed my gaskets on the rocker, the 4 across the top, did the trick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
