<VV> Re: oil out of dipstick.

[Geoff Johnson]

Thanks to those who responded on hints about oil problems on the engine.  I 
re-checked the PCV hoses last night.  All are clear.  Cleaned the PCV 
valve, (new a few months back), and everything is clear.  I run a T in the 
line for a attachment point for the vacuum gauge in the Spyder dash in the 
car.   I have done this for years but I broke the old one when changing the 
engine.  The new one I saw seemed a little restrictive so I opened up the 
passageways.  Maybe helped it a bit, but this is right next to the balance 
line, so I dont think a lot of air can be restricted by it especially since 
it is between balance tube and PCV valve.    Engine has good compression so 
no holed piston.  Dont think this one has ever been apart, so who knows 
what rings are like.  Anyway I will cut the tube off in the oil pan when I 
get a chance to pull it and a new gasket, seem to have run out of spare oil 
pan gaskets.
