excessive 340 crankcase pressure

It looks like the OP has 2 PCV's tee-ing together, then to the catch can, and then back to the carb's PCV port. If that is the case, it will indeed absolutely draw a vacuum in the crankcase with 2 PCV's; you don't need airflow in create a lower pressure in any closed chamber. (The inflow of air is actually going to be from the blowby... not a good source for keeping the crankcase clean, but a source nontheless.)

Regardless of whether the OP has a breather or not, at high RPM's, there will be the most blowby and the least flow into the PCV port on the carb as there is almost no vacuum there at WOT, regardless of the number of PCV's or the type. In that case, adding a breather may help as it will reverse flow at WOT and become a fairly open vent for the crankcase pressure. At least the dipstick may not blow out oil.

OP, when you say there is oil mist out of the dipstick tube, is that at idle? Or are you just seeing the results after WOT operation?

And, I can't read the label on the hose connected to the PCV's valves but if it is fuel line, using that is a no-no. Proper PCV hose will not collapse inward under the vacuum pressures in the hose; fuel line can collapse.


1, 2 or 12 valves doesn't matter. A single valve will outflow what the carb can take in.

If the OP wants to draw a vacuum in the crankcase, then he needs to seal the engine, run no breathers and let the PVC system pull a vacuum. The issue is that won't do anything at WOT or any other low vacuum situation.

In that case, the OP needs to run some other system, like a pan evac over the top of the PCV system. At idle the pan evac will do very little, but the PCV is working. At cruise, both systems are working and that's when they both pull the most vacuum. At WOT you are relying on the pan evac totally as the PCV system is doing nothing..


I guess I'm just dumb. If the normal, OE system RRR posted above won't control blow by for the OP, he is just mentally masturbating and beating his head against the wall. The OE system is more than capable of handling blow by.

If it won't work, it needs ring seal work. No PCV or evacuation system will fix that.

Again, I ask has a leak down been done on the engine? If it has, what are the results? If not, why not?
