<VV> Cleaning out an upper PCV tube blockage

[Sethracer at aol.com]

A slightly better solution would be to use a speedometer cable, similar to  
what Smitty suggested, but insert it through a small hole in the turn of 
the  upper pipe, modified for this task. The top end of the upper pipe should 
be  connected through a tapered (or just super-taped) connector, to a Shop 
Vac.  Remove the oil filler cap, turn on the Shop Vac, and using the drill, 
feed  the speedo cable down through the gunk in the lower tube. The shop Vac 
will pull  out any debris loosened up by the whipping cable. I know it's not 
perfect,  Mike.  - Seth Emerson

That,  Smitty is probably one of the worst things I’ve ever heard passed 
on....and  newbies will probably do that.
No wonder so many engines are  junk.
