<DIV><FONT size=2>You are describing two types of crankcase breathing, which
should not exist on the same car.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The first from inception to Feb 64 used a hose from the rocker
cover to the front air cleaner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The second from then to Oct 68 used a PCV valve on the inlet
manifold with a hose going to the front tappet chest cover.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Y-connector Max talks about was only used after that when
the tappet chest cover was plumbed to both carbs in place of the PCV
valve.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But oil loss on the starter side won't be anything to do with
that anyway. More likely to be something to do with the filter/filter head
perhaps a seal blowing under higher oil pressures and hotter oil, oil cooler
connections if present, or oil gauge connection. The latter is right above
the starter of course, but at speed oil is going to be blown back anyway.
Could also be rocker cover. Stuff that side of the engine with balled-up
newspaper and that may help to localise the source.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial; BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black">I have a
’74 MBG engine with a ’64 through ’67 PCV valve on the manifold and connected
to the front cover breather pipe. I have a hose running from the valve

<P class=MsoNormal>Seems to work fine for daily around town driving. My
problem occurs when traveling at 65 mph sustained speed for about 100 miles.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The problem is I blow out about half a quart of oil from
somewhere mid-engine or back on the passenger side. I can’t find any
obvious place that the oil is coming from but it seems to be concentrated near
the starter.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
