[DeTomaso] FW: Oil Spray from valve cover breathers

Fri Apr 24 15:14:57 EDT 2015

I didn¹t quite get Julian¹s post unless there¹s confusion over PVC vs. PCV.
The system that returns crankcase pressure  to the engine is Positive
Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) and everyone knows PVC is poly-whatever plastic.
The PCV system will get rid of or at least greatly reduce the smoke and
smell emitting from the engine by drawing it back into the intake charge.

   I have never head that the material of construction of the valve would
   make a difference, why would PVC be better for the PCV valve? :>)

Do you have a PVC valve?  I recall that PVC helps reduce or eliminate
pressure i
nside the engine, and if it's removed or blocked, you can get oil spray from
bre
athers.

  Hi Guys, does anyone have any ideas how to stop my engine from blowing
  oil out of the breathers on the valve covers.  The engine was just
  rebuilt and now has aluminum valve covers without any baffles by the
  openings for the breathers.  I'm getting a spray of oil out of the
  breathers and sometimes they actual come off when i push it hard.
  These are the twist-on type of breathers,
