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.....

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?
