Do the draft tubes on the early TRs plug up with gunk over time?  I wonder
because mine seems to expell more air from the valve cover than the draft
tube.  I thought maybe I had some engine problems of some sort, but chekced
the compression and its even and consistent acros all 4 cylinders.  Given
the grungy neighborhood of the tube, I hate to remove it as an exercise if
they do not plug up.  ANy other thoughts on why this would happen, or is
this normal?

I also seem to have a lack of vaccuum - which wold make sense if ther is
pressure in the crankcase.  I'm stumped.  THanks in advance for your help
and advice
