- I have a '77 18V engine in my '70 B. Unknown miles on the engine, great oil pressure (70lbs all the time hot or cold.) I have a non-crossover AL head with an AL valve cover. The AL valve cover came w

- This is a sign off compression "blow-by". Take a compression test and see if you can identify the cylinder that is losing compression; thus allowing the crankcase to fill with the higher pressure and

- So what does a re-bore and new rings usually cost? I agree, that is why I checked the tappet chest cover to ensure that the it could escape into the carb. Thanks! Andrew /// /// mgs@autox.team.net ma

- I agree that you need to ascertain the source of this crankcase pressure. Just blocking off the vent hole is not going to solve the underlying problem. I would also study the crankcase breather syste

- Hi Andrew, Check to see if there are gases blowing out of the tappet cover vent when the engine is running. That's where the piston/ring blowby manifests itself. If there's no pressure there, or just

- That sounds like a reasonable measure to take. I will do it. I have a compression tester already as well. I would have done it already, but my car is at a body shop, and I am on what is turning into
