Took the car out today. The smoking at the end of a run is gone, but I had to wrap a rag around the breather separation tank filter element to catch the oil that's now wanting to spray past the small filter element. This breather separation tank gets blowby from the new blowby venting hose at the timing cover and the drysump oil holding tank. I'm going to get another breather tank so that each can have its own breather separation tank.
The separation tank catches about 1.5 tablespoons of oil. As long as I change the rags every couple runs, the fix is manageable, for now. The next PMing of the motor, I'll be adding 2 or 3 more 1/2" holes in the face of the block. For now, I'll be increasing the size of the valve cover breather hoses to 1" each, and then taking a close look at the vacuum pump to figure out why it doesn't seem to be doing its job.
On the first run I didn't have a rag wrapped around the filter of the breather separation tank and a small amount of oil sprayed from the filter. It's interesting where the oil sprayed to. The separation tank is located on the firewall, on the driver's side. No oil sprayed onto the firewall, or onto the brake master cylinder that is mounted right beside the breather tank. Instead, the oil traveled all the way to the front of the left inner fenderwell, near the oil storage tank located at the front left corner of the engine bay. The oil was blown forward away from the firewall.
A low pressure zone building under the hood?
