Crankcase ventilation
Hi All,
I have read just about every post on this subject and I am 84.3% sure that my problem is due to a lack of a PCV Valve.
My 400 Chev with all the goodies has now been in and out of my Torana 4 times to replace my oil pan gaskets due to leaks at the front and rear. If it has not been the front it has been the back or both??!!! I have tried several techniques and gasket brands. This has been a very frustrating problem as I have only been able to do about 5 miles each time before it starts to leak again.
I am using 1 breather on each valve cover instead of 1 breather and 1 PCV. Is it possible that my crancase pressure is causing the problem and would a PCV work better to reduce pressure than 2 breathers? Alternatavely, could my oil pan be warped or something?
Any suggestions or past experiences would be appreciated. I have spent 2 years building this car from the ground up and am still unable to drive it because of a stupid oil leak!!
Thanks heapsWhere's my keys?!!
