Cam Installation Complete - Smoke coming from Valve Breather Filter
Just finished my cam install last night Car is running great on stock tune! Getting it tuned this Sunday with PatrickG hopefully.
I had an issue after the install. I have the RevXtreme Catch can with the optional Valve Breather oil cap. Since the install, I am getting smoke/steam coming from the breather filter on the cam. Never had this happen before til the cam was installed. I am assuming this might be why my oil pressure can drop down to the low 30s sometimes.
I did some research a while back and I think I read somewhere how the optional valve filter actually isn't good for your car.
Any thoughts on the issue? Thanks in advance.

How much smoke would you say? After a rebuild, a little bit is normal.
I'm not sure how to quantify a 'little bit'...think less than a cigarette
sitting in an ashtray.
This should taper off and eventually stop once the rings break-in, and all
the assembly oils/lubricants make their way into the oil pan.
Change the oil and filter soon.
