Re: [AMC-list] oil coming out of dipstick

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend replacing the PCV valve with the unit from www.envalve.com and plugging off ALL other breather ports.  The En Valve is designed to create a serious vacuum inside the crankcase, nearly eliminating blow-by.  It basically sucks the rings to the cylinder wall better, to reduce blow-by.
 
I recently installed on the 46,000 mile 318 in my parents' "new" RV that was burning 1-2 qts of oil in 450 miles.  It is now almost down to zero oil burning.
 
With the EN valve installed and all else plugged off, you can pull the dip stick tube and FEEL the vacuum through the tube ... this would eliminate the pressure build-up you're seeing on your engine, due to blow-by.
 
I have since installed one on my PT Cruiser and picked up a couple more for my stroker 304 and for the 360 in my buddy's GW.
 
Check out their website at www.envalve.com and talk to Emil.  He's fantastic to deal with ... GREAT customer service.

I have a problem with oil coming out of my dipstick. It doesn't blow the dipstick out but there is evidence of oil on the plug wire below and aft of the tube and steering shaft.   
It's a 74 Jav/AMX, recently rebuilt 401(.030 over), Indy heads, speed pro pistons (9.5-1 cr), air gap intake, K&N air filter and an Edelbrock breather in the oil fill tube, Milodon 8 qt oil pan, crank scraper, internal oil line.  The PCV valve is installed in the back of the intake running up to a 750 Carter AFB.  
   I was going to install breathers in my valve covers but read the following threads and am now holding off: 

'also the valve covers are history!!!! Have found that after the burn out and a hard run today to about 5,000 rpm, the oil came up through the filter and all over the place, you called it Charles, yet again...' 

   'i don't know what you got for covers but if they got breathers in em take them off and toss em for some without breathers. i put breathers in my edelbrock covers and they did nothing but puke oil out of em after they got oil soaked.' 

I thought of reinstalling the original fill cap (or a breather with a nipple on it) and running a hose back to a T fitting on the line from the carb to the PCV valve.
Any other suggestions?  Thanks.  
Marty
