Mikelly Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 So on my 383 stroker I have a set of nice machined aluminum valve covers. I also have a K&N breather. The issue is that there is no baffle in the valve cover... And the smell oil fumes is heavy and comes into the cockpit. I'm not running a pump for crank ventalation, but I need to do something to mitigate the fumes... Any ideas would be great guys...

rsicard Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Mikelly: A PVC valve in the valve cover with hose to carb/intake manifold fitting with orfice installed for small amount of vacuum to valve cover/crankcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Got that already...Also found an issue with the dipstick pushing up slightly after the dyno sessions... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Is the hypothesis that oil is being driven up through the non-baffle in the valve cover, through the PCV valve and, well, somewhere else (not back into the intake manifold?)? Could there be another source of oil leak, too small to notice as a loss of oil volume in the sump, but large enough to splatter onto something hot (headers, for example), resulting in fumes?

AllBoost Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I dont believe so because if the dipstick it being pushed out, i believe that would mean that their is to much pressure in the crankcase and its looking for places to escape such as the breather and dipstick. Double check your pcv valve to see if its clogged. That would for sure cause extra crankcase pressure and would cause many of the problems your having.

surpip Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 You could get one of those Mr. Gasket exhaust PCV systems I have installed several an they work quite well, also you can get some ½’’ hose and re locate your filter to where the fumes don’t have a straight shot into the cabin.
