Upper is off once again,,,,,,,Systemax help

[Wade95]

I've done the two spacer thing. (1) 1" and (1) 1/4" (to clear valve covers)

I've done the stock valve covers/no spacer thing (not much difference)

I've now got the stock valve covers/1" spacer thing going on.

John, I know you say a little oil is fine, but tell me Im not sucking to much. Look at that spacer,,,it's soaked. Like we discussed,,only 8" of vacuum as well. If I put the stock cap on the filler next and leave the PCV bung capped it makes a whistle that is a little loud. As Im untightening the cap you can hear it sucking. I replaced the cap for a breather for now. Once I get a vacuum tit for the PCV port on TB I will go back to original cap. I really wish I would have kept my B cam.

if all of that is oil then your right it's way to much.

Wade,
usually that on the throttle body is connected to the oil fill neck on the valve cover (as I am sure you know). That could give you a little less oil sucked into your intake. (it acts like a HUGE PCV valve, kinda). Do you have the oil fill neck tube in place? Looks like it is capped on the engine. I would try advancing the cam I know that would suck at this point to pick up some bottom end.
It sounds to me like with 8" of vacuum you have a vacuum leak somewhere. I am fighting the same problem I only have 5" of vacuum.

Yeah, I have the stock hose that actually goes to the PCV tit on the TB. I will go get a replacement or just go get some sort of vacuum bung that can thread into it. I am pretty sure that will take care of some of the problem. I know I installed the cam "straight up" and Im not pulling the motor apart just to advance/retard the thing. The 8" of vacuum thing has me thinking I might not have the lower sealed all the way. I'll keep ya all posted.

what all do you have done to the motor? My buddy has a 347 with a systemax that is sucking oil back up like that, we haven't been able to figure it out yet.

but didn't you post awhile back about cleaning up your engine, so what's with all those stickers.

Guys in my club gave me hell about stickers on the outside of the car so I had to at least put some little ones on there.

i'm a firm believer in why advertise for someone unless kicken in a few $ on your project, or is that the case?

 

[Wade95]

I think your theory is a good one. I just like a few stickers.

i wasn't trying to take away from your thread, i was just curious.
