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.</div><div><br></div><div>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!!!</div><div><br></div><div>c ya,</div><div>Bob Lang<br></div>
