Have you guys ever experienced out-of-control blowby, but when checking the plugs they were all clean? To reiterate from my last post, I have a dead #4 cylinder...installed rebuilt head, new cam/lifters. Came home yesterday and their was oil all over the place. I came to find out oil was leaking from my airbox...the filter was SOAKED in oil, and the bottom of the airbox had about an 1/8" of oil as well. Pulled the PCV tube and she was puffing smoke. Dipstick had crankcase blow-by all the way up to the top as well (snot)...at first I said son-of-a-b***h but after checking the oil many times it's OK. It also looks like I'm getting a slight amount of oil in the exhaust,heh. The condensation on the ground had tiny drops of oil residual in them, and the back of my Jeep had really small splatters of these oily droplets as well. What gives?
I think Jim is p'd off at me...I wish he'd give me his 2 cents!!!
Ok my 2 cents..
The first thing I would do is to clean up the intake. Then I would take both hoses from the top of the valve cover and attach them BOTH to a constant vac source without a pcv devoce in the hose.. This will pull 4 or 5 times the amount of blowby out of the engine. Then I would run her around town and see if I had relieved the internal pressure.
Then if I had relieved the pressure I would make up my mind what I wanted to do with that ride... SELL it or put another engine in it!
I would either sell it right away or I would build myself a stroker.. or a simple rebuild.. or the v-8 of my dreams..
In any event I would be about it right away.
