Re: Blow-by question
I found when I had pcv problems, oil would come out of the engine oil
dipstick....possible oil loss area, and cause other gaskets to leak. MIKE, what do you think about replacing both pcv and the one in the back with a oil breather cap?? I've changed to a webber carb and disabled all of the emissions....would that help?? Also, bill previously mentioned something about reattaching the fuel cannister as a fuel milage increase?? Any idea about the problems associated with my removing the cannister all together? Or should I reconnect it tothe webber, and if so how?? The webber instructions were crap... Thanks...you and bill are the jeep knowledge gods so far..... Robb -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com |

Re: Blow-by question
Well for starters today's carbs are designed to have a massive vacuum
leak at their base called a PCV inlet. Without this leak, it will run really rich to the point of needed a smaller jet even. Are you old enough to remember the old drip tubes that engines had so all the oil that pukes out goes down onto the road instead of all over the engine compartment? That is what is needed instead of a PCV valve.... The canister is also part of this system. The canister is the air vent for the gas tank. If the tank has no vent or the air filter on the bottom of the canister gets blocked with dirt, then a vacuum will form in the gas tank causing the engine to run out of gas. I ran with the canister disconnected for a while until my wife started refusing to drive in it because of the strong raw gas smell getting into our clothes and hair. So what flavor of Jeep and type of engine do you have?
