The tube the pcv is hooked too?
The tube for the pcv has vacuum or the other one has vacuum?
The breather tube connecTed to the right valve cover has vacuum and the Pvc connected to the carb hasvacuum seems like oil is sucking codown from the breather side of valvecover
Is the vacuum on the breaker coming from the valve cover or from where the tube is connected? And where do you have it connected?
If it's coming from the valve cover the pcv may be stuck open. I've never seen it produce much even in that case but that's the only thing I can think of. The breather tube should be hooked to the air cleaner. There is no vacuum there unless you have a restriction
Pvc is new and your right there should be no vacuum coming from the breather tube I'm thinking maybe intake gasket or the intake itself
So the vacuum is coming from the engine? Where is your breather hooked to?
