mws919 thank you very much. I
mws919 thank you very much. I get off work in about an hour & I will give that a try when I get home. I had an issue with the engine smoking & burning excessive amounts of oil, fortuneatley it was only the crankcase breather gasket under the valve cover allowing oil to be scavenged under the baffle & into the PVC line right into the intake. Have a good day & thanks for the help and God bless!
good luck and let me know.
