You don't get oil coming out of your breather?

The passenger valve cover is tied into the intake tube like stock so I don't really know.

If this is near what you have Diet may have answered the problem in ? What's up DC where ever you are.

I had read and heard of the same problem with the *intake valley*along with factory covers. When I was buying parts I called Improved Racing purchased the later model valley cover....etc pickup brace, scrapper etc. ProForm valve covers with a new catch can both from Jegs.

I would bet you are pressuring the crank case and pushing oil into your PVC.

This was my solution to a 4" crank at 7500 RPM.

Cool! Welded it in as I assumed to allow breathing.

Wouldnt those two engine combos require two different camshafts?

Yeap. We can always add more duration with the 4 incher without TQ loss vs the smaller crank. You could use less intake duration to help Tq with the bigger bore Yet loss HP. No comment=Falling further behind.
Just messing with you. It's all depends on the combo the shorter stroke more than likely wouldn't need that much cam duration.

Speed I'll need some help and thoughts on running a 3 qrt sump.

Default Engine Vibration with a Long Crank

Hi Spanks, I agree with your "in neutral" observation.

There are some items that may effect engine balance.
I would like to see you post your Balance Sheet ?
I have found that the weight of the oil, attached to the crankshaft/rods, effects the engine balance.
The cure is to "overbalance" as RPM increases, increase the %.
This effect is greater when the car is accelerating.

The tune quality is effected by the crankshaft TW tooth count.
The 24xe = a two degree Spark Accuracy
The 58x = a 1/4" degree Spark Accuracy

My ECU-882C is a Degree Bases EMS
This allows for Crankshaft Acceleration Measurement.
I have measured this for forty years finding much lower acceleration rates when a 60-2 TW is fitted to the crankshaft compared the a 24 tooth TW.
( a six degree/fifteen degree difference in spacing)
I have completed over 400 Chassis Dyno tests.
When I arrive, I ask for the Torque/HP filters to be set at the Lowest OR Off.
I can then read the HP graph to find the "jitters" allowing me to improve the tune by removing/adding Spark Advance OR making changes to the Fuel Curve.

When my customer states a "rough" engine, I am concerned.

I have found an engine with too much Spark Advance will produce Crankcase Pressure greater than what is common.

Lance
