[Tigers] Oil consumption

Theo,
If oil is drawn into the oil filler side then why in  the original set up do
es the hose run from the filler cap to the air  cleaner?

I  have the same setup, Mark. On the oil filler side, air is drawn into the
valve  cover, so there should be little if any misting on that side unless
you have a  lot of blowby due to worn valve guides and seals.
It  may be that some rockers are more prone to spray the oil that gets
pumped  through the pushrodsb& with the stock Ford rockers I had a problem
until
I put  the baffles back in.

The  oil is getting drawn into the intake through the PCV system and  it's
getting burned as part of the intake mixture. The only times when  you might
notice this is if you're idling and the wind is from behind  you. On an F4B
intake, you'd notice that the #4 plug is more prone to  fouling because the
PCV
is plumbed into that intake  runner.

On  the subject of baffles and PVC's.  I have my PVC connected, but on the
oil filler cap I am using just a screened cap.  I haven't noticed any
misting because of this being an open system, but maybe over time it will show
up.



My  questions is:  is it possible to be getting an exhaust smell because of
 one side being open?

Oh,  and no oil consumption with the baffles removed.

Mark
