Re: Finally fixing it
I've noticed in the past that I get a lot of oil blown into the air
filter. Now that I have the valve cover off, is there anything I can
check for that may be causing this? The PCV valve is brand new so I
know that isn't the issue.

Re: Finally fixing it
That usually is a charcoal canister failure or the valve behind the carb
on the PCV line.
For starters, check the PCV line carefully. It likes to get soft and
collapse at the elbow beside the carb.
Then trace the line to the T fitting or solenoid behind the carb. The
solenoid is a failed design and is recalled. The fix is a T fitting.
From this part, trace the other line to the top of the charcoal
canister. At idle pinch this line to the canister closed. If the idle
changes, the canister is shot.
This effectively shuts down the PCV system and oil will blow.
The canister should only purge when the engine is hot and at speed. It
uses a ported vacuum signal via the CTO valve.
