Michael,
From your blog post:
"occasionally on overrun very little if any negative pressure was
evident in the crankcase so, in order to improve things a little I
installed a plug in the hose which runs from the valve cover to the rear
air filter and this resulted in a significant improvement"
Probably because you're pulling air (and sump oil) into the crankcase
through the rear main 'scroll' seal (and dipstick tube and oil filler
cap hole). This is how the typical, owner-installed PCV installation on
the 6-cyl cars functions as the PCV valve meters gasses both from the
crankcase and the valve cover. But ... with fresh, filtered air coming
in from the carb air filter you essentially had a true PCV 'system,'
where the gasses--fresh air and blowby--are cycled back into the intake
manifold to be burned in the cylinders.
