Re: Crank case moisture

Gotta agree with that Shaun. When you pull down a motor that has been accumilating water from a weeping head bolt or cracked casting.... where do you see the milky accumilation! I know in yesteryear motors we had metal intakes / valley covers (where your plastic?) and maybe the heat-soak of the aluminum/iron cast intake cooked moisture away better,,,,,, but the 'milk' was always in the rocker covers,,,, the highest point.

I sure can see your delimma in finding a place to put a fitting into the stock LS rocker covers.

But just a thought here. My LS sandrail motor has a (for lack of better terms) steam bleed-tube running between the heads because we have no water cross over up high on the LS. I can't help but believe we have a similar 'lack of flow' in crankcase vapors traped up high in the motor also. Pulling vapors 'down' from one rocker cover, through the crankcase,, then up and out the other rocker cover.... Well you see where I'm headed there. Some sort of cross-connection between the rocker covers might be worth investigating for you alky guys??? It would still create negative pressure in the entire motor, but evacuate the top end first.
Just a thought
