Re: oil blowing out of the breater tube
Have a leakdown test done, only way to tell. A lot of people say that blowers cause this BUT at only 8-PSI a blower should have nothing to do with it unless you have an intake gasket failure or your engine were built w/ more tolerances. (A procedure I don't believe in) My turbo engines 20+ boost never had these problems and there is no excuse for a builder to say that it is normal for an 8-lb blower motor. Now if you are jumping around on waves some oil could be puddling in the rocker area (especially if you have an HV pump) but if this is happening at idle and it feels like a fan is blowing it out then you probably have a ring problem.. blower or no blower.

Some things that might contribute this to my set up is the fact my valve covers have no baffles in them. I was wondering about just running pcv valves. I wonder if this would help? The thought of running a puke tank also was a thought. I seem to get a slight film around the flame arrestor after a days work. Probally about a tablespoon's worth. I never get any outside the arrestor though. Whats everyones thoughts on the pcv valve thing? whats the downside? Should I run this to the carb base or the intake itself? What would the downside be to doing this. As is I just spray some carb cleaner down the carb before or after a day or two of running......
