What is it? Why do I have it? And how do I get rid of it?
I've got copious amounts of oil coming out the PCV tube. I've checked the
caulking on the PCV baffle on the valve cover, per Ross's posting a while
back where he thought a motor needed rebuilding but ended up just needing
a new valve cover, but mine looks OK.
Is this oil blowing by the valves? rings? Clue me in here... My valves
are absolutely caked with carbon buildup. Last time I had the intake
manifold off, I looked in there and could barely even see one of the
valves there was so much crud. I'm pulling the head this weekend to
change out a leaking head gasket (right rear corner) and was wondering if
anyone had any experience with products that dissolve carbon buildup?
Any tips are greatly appreciated!
