<VV> PVC Blockage?

[Mark Durham]

Bill, excessive blow by will show up running the engine with the oil
fill cap off. On my car with compression in the 110 to 125 range on a
old engine I could easily feel a steady pulsing of air on my hand. The
newly overhauled engine with .030 cylinders new Egge pistons and chrome
rings does not produce any blow at all.

Bill:  Off the wall - and don't ask me how I know - please check all
the tubes and fitting of all the hoses which carry air/fumes on the
top side of the engine.  Blockage in them could cause the crankcase to
become pressurized, forcing oil out any number of places.  Blockage
can happen with a semi pinched hose if somebody used heater hose
instead of a molded hose.  When the pressure bleeds down after shut
down, the leaks stop.  Until you drive it again.

HI all, hope everyone's well.? I have a question on oil pressure and
engine internals.? Would an oil pressure gauge indicate whether there
is excessive pressure in the crankcase?

I've noticed smoke coming from my PCV pipe (that is connected to the
bottom of the air cleaner on my '66 110), especially when the engine's
warmed up.

This morning after driving the car to work, it started leaking oil
BADLY underneath the rear of the car, I probably lost a cupful or
sot.? After the car sat for a couple of hours, the leak stopped and I
noticed I was only down about 1/2 quart.

PCV orifice is open and clean.? I really hope I don't have internal
engine problems, I just got the car back from the body shop, she was
hit badly on the left rear quarter and sustained over $4,000 of damage
(which included a new clearcoat paint job).? I can't afford more major
repairs!

Thanks guys...Bill Hershkowitz 66 Monza Sport Sedan 110 PG A/C
