If u have a pcv installed as per the Nock s version. What are the negatives?=
will it suck oil into the intake? Could there be too much vacuum and harm s=
eals gaskets etc. ?? Mitch. 66 bj8

Check and clean the crankcase ventilation system first. Check for
wear in the valve guides. Check the compression with a hot engine.

It is very unlikely that the air filters have something to do with
the oil consumption. There is no vacuum to speak of created there,
unless they are totally blocked or are absolutely tiny. <br>
