Something to keep in mind with PCV valves. My son recently had trouble 
with plug fowling on a 6 cylinder ( non Healey ) engine. Fowling was 
confined to cylinder 6. Thinking the engine had bad rings, they were 
replaced, valve guides checked etc. It didn't fix it. It turned out the 
PCV valve had been connected to the inlet manifold in the wrong place. 
It was directly in front of port 6, so cylinder 6 was trying to burn 
virtually all of the fumes. He moved the PCV to the centre of the 
manifold just below the carb, and no more fowling plug.
Cheers
