Not much, but more the older your engine is, and more the harder the engine works. For a quick test, seal all the vents, put your hand over the oil filler cap, and rev the engine a bit. You will like

You are correct Atwell, the air pump is not a part of the crankcase breathing system. Joe, we love you man, but you gotta hit the books a bit. It's disconcerting to see emails that mix obvious miscon

The air pump is in no way related to the crankcase ventilation system that we are talking about here. More to the point, removing the air pump in no way requires you to start thinking about jars and

Agreed, you cannot use ported vacuum for this job for the reasons you talk about. However, there are other sources of vacuum to be had. Have you checked the manifold? I have done this exact job on tw

Whoa, I did a double take on this one. Apologies if this sounds pedantic, but just to be clear... Are we talking about a vented oil cap, or a valve cover with a vent on it? The valve cover I am refer
