Serious Engine Trouble

[psychos2]

The way its set up isnt to my liking, I wouldnt vent it as the vapors are pretty harsh, almost made me pass out on my last road trip. Id say run a hose from the location of the PCV valve to the top of the intake an down to the airbox if anything, you have alot less vacume and the vapors are still going out the tail. Plug the manifold.

The vapors are not an issue. I have not smelt a thing. Any high performance boat motors we build are vented from the valve covers . We have never had a problem with harsh vapors. Even in the dyno room. shawn

Guess my motor was to far gone, atleast it didnt lock up or spin a bearing. Ive seen those vents before many times but mostly on motors with a low vapor output. Guess it just depends on the causes. Ive gotten down to opening my valve cover, id post a pic but I cant without subscribing. Its really brown and cooked in, kinda like a worn out T-bird I rebuilt while I was in the army. Needles to say ive spooken with a few people and all say the same thing there VX didnt do it in early miles of ownership. Ive only spooken with one guy and hes a very anal mechanic. He said he changed the oil between 2500 and 3000 miles. He has 180,000 miles and no problems, he really babys it, never seen dirt, dam shame.
