[Fot] topic change up - venting

[Robert Lang]

Hi Brian,
Two things - I'd def replace the sealing block with the steel piece. You will never have that problem again. second, a PCV valve will work. I run one on my TR6. I just got a a generic PCV valve with 1/2 barbs and route it to the intake manifold. Note, however that you need to be careful how you place the vent(s) in the valve cover so that you don't suck oil from the valve cover area... note that the stock valve cover has a way to block sloshed oil from pushing out the tube. You only want to vent the mist (and subsequent in-sump pressure) not the oil itself.
You can also get a oil separator setup in there, Goodparts makes a really nice one. I have one in my PCV system. No leaks!!!
c ya,Bob Lang

 I didn’t say I wanted to race it, but since the club I race with, Vintage Racer Group, just decided cars up through 1989 are vintage and eligible (yeesh, frown), it should fit right in!
Brian, I would say venting might help, but only if it’s a small leak.  If you’ve got a anything more than a drop or two when the the car is stationary and running, you’re going to have more when you’re braking, the oil sloshes up there  and it’s hot and at higher revs.

Hi Friends
Sorry about stirring the pot on vintage over Scott's post on the TR4 on BAT, pretty nice car though I thought, competing in my dreams for the Volvo 544 with the V8
Anywise - thinking about the oil leak coming from the front of the pan on the GT and the high probability it's the sealing block.  That said, it seems that if I alleviate the air pressure build up in the engine I might minimize it until I actually have another reason to pull the engine.
Has anyone ever put a PCV on the vent coming off the valve cover and hooked it to the intake manifold? worked in the old days.
Any thoughts and comments are welcome.
ThanksBrian
