I've been working on my PCV system adding a second PCV valve to the drivers side valve cover to control the oil going into my intake, because my spacer was getting soaked with oil. I now have an air/oil seperator from Lowes installed with both PCV valves going into the seperator first, then a hose going into the intake. I was using a PCV valve on the valve cover that was not for a mustang, and it was still sucking some oil into the intake as was evident by the smoke out the tail pipes. I installed the correct valve today, and dumped the oil out of the seperator to start fresh. I took a 5 minute spin, came back, and the seperator was about half full of oil. Why is so much oil getting sucked up through the PCV system?
A foot note: I had no smoke at all before working on the PCV system.
I have a metal plate installed below the pcv valve on the valve cover. I am completely stumped on this. I'm hoping some of you guys have installed a second PCV valve, and can help me correct this.
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help you can provide.
