Ho Joe.
Good question and a valid concern. At this point, I can say that in my
"spirited" drive, I was often "pedal to the metal" but not necessarily going
uphill at the same time. There was a small grade at one point though, and I was
accelerating from a stop light. No traces of dip stick oil blow out though. I
suspect that even though the vacuum drops appreciably, there is still enough to
do the job.
On the weekend, I'll be going to the Spring Fling (MGs and Triumph mutual get
together) in Niagara Falls. I know the Saturday drive is extensive and will have
lots of hills. It will be a good and thorough test of the PCV system.. I'll let
the list know the results on Sunday evening or Monday morning.
