Is it normal to have some oil come out of the breather?  In my case the oil is getting all over the valve covers and the block and headers it's getting everywhere lol and starting to bug me the motor runs amazing tho no knocking no ticking starts strong and fast gets up a goes quick so is this something I should worry about or just keep adding oil every time I take it out? Could it be I possibly have shitty valve cover vents?  Need help!!?  I really don't wanna rebuild but I'm getting the feeling I'm going to have to?

Have any pictures of your current set up?

What you are experiencing sounds fairly typical... What kind or RPM's are you seeing? What oil pan, how much and what type oil?

In 99% of all cases, you need to run baffled valve covers with a quality breather. How much oil loss are we talking?

Going to tell you straight up.

Pull the valve covers and check to see if the have a baffle box in them. Shitcan the breathers you have and plug that port on the base of the carb.

If the valve cover do not have a baffle box, you will be fighting this problem pretty hard, if they do, I would purchase a pair of MOPAR style breathers and install two fittings under the scoop to run the hose from the breathers to the scoop, this will pull the smokey crankcase pressure into the carburetor.

As for the PCV valve on that deal, it is not hurting anything, but only working at a closed throttle idle...

Here are the breathers you need

Hopefully this help you out.

Oh yeah, 5-20 is for the Honda car... I would not run anything lighter than 15w-40...

I also have a 460 and I run a similar set up. My valve covers do have a baffle box, but I don't have two breathers I have a direct line from the carb to one cover... Also I already run 15-40.

Sounds about right to me.. Just for reference, if you ever get a whole bunch of oil "up top" the valve cover without the breather can become quite pressurized and blow out the valve cover gasket... Making for a gnarly mess, not to mention a pretty scary smoke show.... If it works, leave it alone...

Just thought I would give the 4-1-1...

BTW, I really do not like the FOMOCO breather block under the carburetor, I just feel that it is wrong because you cannot see if something catastrophic is actually going on. Sort of like out of sight, out of mind.

They work pretty well on a car, way more vacuum to get it to clean up. On a jet, the crankcase pressure is "pushing" into the intake manifold. Just feels, again, wrong.

Tanks a ton for the info I'll get on that soon as possible. And are you talking about the spacer in between the carb and intake manifold?

Yes, but I really can't give a really good verifiable reason. Just don't care for the configuration...

Just my personal opinion with some preference sprinkled on it.

GT

i used to run a set of breathers like that in my old mustang and they ALWAYS leaked all over.  then i switched to an oil catch can and PCV setup and all was fixed.  its the best of all worlds... you keep the oil from being sucked up into the intake, coating everything and then burned...  and you deal with the positive crank pressure.

And what do you mean by two fittings under the scoop like a hose from each valve cover to the PCV fitting?

Anyone?

What if I ran both sides to the pcv? Sorry newbie over here

Sent from my SM-G900V using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app

Best bet to fix it for now without dis assembling anything is to put a breather on both sides then over the breather run a sports wrist band that's made of cotton for sweat. It will keep the mist down to a minimum for cheap and easy.

I run valvoline VR1 20w50 and yes I also have oil on my valve covers at the end of my day it's the nature of the beast with running open breathers

I just found that I have no baffles in my valve covers and I have some shitty ass breathers and my oil was 5w20 so I will be buying some new covers breathers and oil 

Sent from my SM-G900V using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app

I too have no baffles changing the breathers you have can be a good start just carry a rag to wipe off the oil and yes get rid of the 5w20 it's a big block not a import lol

The reason is because your engine has too much block pressure most likely from your pump

And what should I do to my pump?
