Hey Jim, you may be the person to ask. I've got a "69 TR6 with soon to be
triple ZS carbs. The stock PCV was to the air box, but with some funky PCV at
the balance bar on the intake. What do you think is the best setup for venting
this. The new intake has no place to put the pcv so I was thinking of going
from the valve cover directly to one of the three carbs, with some sort of
filter material in the tube. Is there any down fault of doing it this way?

Cregg,
My 72 "6" engine was fairly well worn...I would regularly shift at 5000
RPM. Same deal, oil blown from the valve cover area.
The TR attempt at PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) has always seemed
a little weak...to me anyway.
I added a draft tube
No more oil leak!

I checked under the hood after last night's drive and found a little oil
(a
teaspoon?) on top of my rocker cover. I know it wasn't there when I
started
the ~30 minutes of testing. I assume this was caused by blow-by from
worn
rings/cylinders. It has been 13 years on this rebuild, it may be time
to
start thinking about going in there again.
Regards,
