The car would idle fine with the hose between the rocker cover and the intake tube was disconnected. I have soldered up a copper tube with a breather mid way. Tomorrow in traffic will be the big test but she idled fine in the driveway.
One thing I have noticed is a lot of air blowing through the oil cap when removed. What would cause such a thing? I off to the US sites to see if I can find this documented.
You don't want to hear this ... but IIRC lots of pressure in the valve cover means valve blow by.
