Smokey 327
I tried a short cut to save money and merely "revived" my 327 with fresh heads (who doesn't like fresh head?) and a new cam etc. The bottom end is now telling me in smoke signals that it needed to be done too. My guess is the old cam was so flat the cylinders weren't building enough pressure to hurt the old rings.
I thought I'd found a solution with a bad pcv valve but it's still burning oil bad (like a qt per 200 miles). Any ideas? I was thinking of adding a vented oil fill cap. If there is such a critter like for an earlier road draft style engine. My 68 327 still has the original intake and long-tall oil filler. How about restricting the vac line to the pcv? If the engine is well vented it 'should' be okay? Is there some kinda baffle or filter or oil separator the pcv is s'posed to vent through? Ja, the valve covers are '68 originals too. Ja, it would be best to get back in there and do a proper/complete overhaul. I just want to buy some time here. Thanks y'all.
