My oil burning pig. Pics too!

OK. the 3 psi I got was doing a diagnostic test with the valve cover ports PLUGGED, and a vacuum guage in the dipstick thing. I'm sure there's no pressure normally, with the breathers on.

I have not yet installed the PCV system. I just don't think it's gonna help in this situation, but I do plan to give it a try. I probably should be running header evacs, if anything.

I'm going to take a look at my seals, check the guides......if nothing looks odd there, I'm not sure what my next move will be.

I've had quite a few higher HP engines over the last 30 years or so and have never run a PCV set up. Never had this problem.
