What other mods did he make? If you still have the original carbs all you
have to do is connect a hose from the pipe on the side of the valve cover to
the
ports on the side of the carbs and you will have an active PCV system. This
will not only reduce the oil leakage but will purge blowby gases from the
crankcase keeping the oil cleaner.
The hose is 1/2 inch and if you get a tee you can use both carbs to maintain
F/R balance.
