Hi All,
I have a question regarding the PCV from Moss. I've read allot of posts discussing negative crankcase pressure in a 1275 to prevent it from leaking oil out the rear scroll seal. Since the last install i've noticed that I have a pretty steady stream of oil coming out of this exact location. So this year I figured I would try connecting the canister on the timing cover to the intake on my manifold for the SU carbs. I separated this by placing a GM PCV in the line from autozone.
Well, this solved my leak issue and I no longer leave puddles of oil under my car at idle however now i'm blowing smoke out of my tailpipe that if I place my hand in front of has oil spatter mixed in. It seams obvious that now i'm sucking oil from the crankcase into my intake manifold creating this problem. But if I disconnect i'm back to the leak issue.
Is there a difference between the Moss PCV for our vehicles and a basic PCV off the shelf that would prevent this? I also have my valve cover vented to the atmosphere as well if that matters. Any help with this would be great. I'm sure my neighbors would also appreciate the break from whit oil filled smoke.
