$5000 sounds extremely ridiculous for the engine rebuild, depending on the problem, you should be able to keep it under $2000. For blown rings and no cylnder wall problems under $1000 easy. The cost

Have you checked your PCV valve for being clogged? Something is sucking or letting the oil build up in the valve cover area. That will cause oil to travel through the valves into the cylinder and pr

This makes me wonder about something: What is a normal level of "pressurization" within the valve cover? Mine, for instance, gives out a "poof" of pressure if I take the oil fill cap off while the en

Are you sure it is a poof of pressure, or could it be the sound on air going INTO the valve cover. A good operating possitive crankcase ventilation system could be producing a vacuum just as well as

Isn't white smoke symptomatic of water in the combustion chamber i.e. head gasket problems? Would also seem to fit with pressurised crankcase. PaulH.

Definitely not vacuum. I'm usually leaning over the engine taking the cap off and feel the "poof" on my face... K -- Original Message -- From: "Bullwinkle" <yd3@nvc.net> To: "Kristian Chronister" <kr

I must agree with you ('cause you are so often right). I would suspect a blown out head gasket too. Jim (the older one)

I had all these symptoms in my first 71BGT. The oil pressure and some foaming in the valve cover caused me to think the problem was in the charcoal canister (ha! I wished). I was 500 miles from home
