I'm still losing some oil.. but I don't really care as long as I don't have leaks and I'm not burning the oil...

Olivier: You might want to caution folks that are driving on the street and have to pass pollution tests that this mod WON'T give them a passing grade ;)
Now where the heck did you find it and how difficult was it to install??? This sounds like JUST what I have been looking for! I feel EXACTLY the same as you about sucking oily funk BACK into the engine...NOT a good thing. Please let us know.

On emission controlled vehicles - you can always plug the valve at the headers and hook up the PCV system for the inspection... Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to do that.. :D :D

Well - it for sure wouldn't be emission legal.. but '74 and older cars should be exempt anyways...

Not for those using them as "daily drivers". They have to be plated as regular vehicles and WILL be tested. At least...in my state (IL).

Florida Rocks!!
Anyway - it takes only a few minutes to hook the PCV system back up for the inspection...
