Re: Blowing oil

["Myron Ware" <cmw@domain.elided>]

Mitch,
  When I installed a 196 to replace my 152, I noticed the same 
thing, but at first attributed it to having a little overfill 
past the Full mark on the dipstick.  After more research, I 
discovered that the vent on the valve cover had the original 
flame arrestor and I'd also put on a PCV vale inline, too.  This 
was causing too much backpressure, and that was the reason for 
my various slow leaks on a motor with fresh gaskets all around.  
I took out the PCV and so far so good.  Could you have a clogged 
PCV?
